TweetDeck Beta

And I second the comment about the @replies being sent to FaceBook. I'd rather not see all my @replies showing up on FaceBook, because the conversation is out of context.

Couple of questions though.... how will Facebook deal with Hashtags?

What happens when you @ someone and forget to untick the Facebook box?

Thanks,

Dean

One comment: I agree with Facebook User above; if I click the reply button to a Tweet, the reply field should automatically select to only send to Twitter, not FB. This would streamline direct @replies in Twitter.

Here are two suggestions:

1 Please give us the option to consolidate all streams into one column, that way I can always watch with one eye what's going on and continue doing work with the other, well, maybe not exactly, but you get the idea. AlertThingy is doing that one-column thing very well ...

2 Is it possible to make the interface more Mac like? The option for dark or light is fine, but why does TweeDeck need to look so different from everything else on my Mac?

Facebook does not have a 140 charcter limit in a status post.

I suppose the limiting factor is twitter char limit. However, twitter/fb integration is already in place, leaving the option redundant for my setup.

A tweet dialogue box update with: Twitter or Twitter + Facebook check boxes = 140 char limitation

else

char limitation = facebook/sms i.e. 160 chars

But this integration with Facebook is a terrible idea. In fact, I hate this.

Twitter and Facebook don't complement each other well, especially when it comes to status updates. One's status on Facebook is an *action* - it reads to other users as if your name is saying or doing something, i.e., 'Sheamus is not happy with the direction TweetDeck is going.'

Whereas on Twitter, your status is not dependant on your name. It isn't an action, it's a statement.

Nobody should use any kind of cross-platform status manager and TweetDeck is now encouraging this.

Yeah, I can switch these functions off (and I have), but many people won't, and we're about to endure wave after wave of really ugly statuses on one or both of these platforms.

The Facebook pane seems pretty pointless to me. First, it ignores any of the new filters you may have set up within Facebook (after their recent upgrade), which means you’ll see the updates of all of your friends, as opposed to some within Facebook itself.

Second, if I want to chat to my friends on Facebook, I’ll have the network open in Firefox. It’s not a hardship.

Twitter and Facebook don’t mix well. I don’t think they ever will. For me, Facebook is a place where I stay in touch with close friends and family. Twitter is a social network where I meet new people and share content. And never the twain shall meet.

I admire what you guys have done with TweetDeck and appreciate that you’re trying to move forward and maybe tap into some of Facebook’s user-base, too. I hope you get more and more downloads and become the Twitter client (which you essentially are anyway, I think). But this integration with Facebook is not, in my opinion, the right way forward. It’s just going to lead to a lot of ugly status updates and some potentially major privacy breaches via FB re-tweets. Worse, I think it gives a credibility to both of these things to newcomers to TweetDeck (and Twitter), which I think is bad news.

I’ve written about my problems with this update on my blog and invite you to read the article and open a discussion. The link can be found here: http://twittercism.com/tweetdeck-facebook/

1) Is there a limit to the API for Facebook like there is for Twitter?

2) Is it possible to allow for commenting on Statuses?

3) Why can't I see my own Status Updates in my Facebook feed?

4) Could you make it so different Facebook feeds are addable based on your pre-made Facebook Friend Lists?

Thanks,

Jim

I second what others have posted: would love to be able to reply to FB friends' status updates from within TD.

Also would love TD to support multiple Twitter accounts; as well as other social networking sites, like ping.fm and such as well. Bring it all into one streamlined location. FriendFeed is 'supposed' to do this, but doesn't do it well, in my opinion. I much prefer TD.

If I had a magic wand thought I'd like to see a radio button instead of checkbox to choose where the post will go. I fear too many people will crosspost to Twitter and Facebook as a default now which turns TweetDeck into more of a Ping.fm type application.

On my wish list.. I'd love to see a 12Seconds.tv record button in the main post window and perhaps an while I'm dreaming.. be able to combine friends individually from Twitter, Facebook and 12 into a hybrid panel.

That would be a killer feature. Commenting on status' straight from TweetDeck.

Amazing update BTW

Tevis

are these coming up too?
(sort of a wishlist)
- Tweet deck skins
- Language support for Japanese? Japanese fonts don't appear.
- Tweet Deck for iphone? :)))

I love the seamless UI and option to post a tweet and or fb status.

This brings twitter users to fb, My need was to post fb status and being able to call out friends which is done by the dual posting. I wish I had a way to map my fb friend to twitter friends in a group.

Anxiously waiting for multiple Twitter account support.

I hope in subsequent "beta" release the team will integrate Facebook functionalities within #TweetDeck.

This does not allow me to type in the fields for username and password after opening tweetdeck>FB

Any suggestions

Now can I get Tweetdeck on my Windows Mobile device? :-)

Just one thing: "Clear all" on the Facebook column resets when TweetDeck updates its Facebook listing, and repopulates the column, and I have to try and figure out what I've read again. Is this just me? I might try restarting.

my response: get bent.

Jim

When I removed the FB column and re-added it, I got the same blank screen but this time it only appeared momentarily and then stopped. It did not loop as it did when attempting to post a Tweet to FB.

Jim

One problem though: I can't click the log in button for facebook. Then, if I close the window and click on the facebook icon again it doesn't do anything so I have to relaunch the program.

Thanks,
Ashley

Thanks!

Downloading this version now, very excited as digsby's updates are getting quite annoying (popping up 5 at a time and filling the left side of my screen).

Only feature request I have at the moment is the ability to change the font and/or font size.

"unable to connect to twitter, please check your firewall."

I already did this. Is there anyway to fix this issue.

Also love the FB integration. But...perhaps not just show statuses of your friends and everything you would normally see in your FB newsfeed? That and the ability to comment would make this an amazing app!

You will also grab the latest version of TweetDect beta. http://tweetdeck.com/beta/TweetDeck_0_24_2.air

After you do all that, you should see the FB icon as the 11th icon in the bar at the top of TweetDeck window.

Thanks,

@Trigeia

I would like to see, as others mentioned, some Facebook interactivity within TweetDeck. Such as, the ability to post on their wall, or comment on their status, or send them a message. Those would be the main ones.

a suggestion,

-can the facebook collumn somehow extract tweets from people who update their facebook status with twitter?
