TweetDeck Answers
This will be a post in which I update things about TweetDeck tonight (July 1, 2009). I understand it’s not a common practice to keep updating one post but this first one is just a graphical demo for my friend Laura. 
I will take questions from Twitter and compile them into this post. Mmhmm. Live blogging.
Managing Your Tweets in TweetDeck
Buttons from left to right:
- Move Column Left
- Show What is Popular in This Column
- Filter This Column
- Mark All As Seen
- Clear Seen Tweets
- Clear All
- Move Column Right
When you mark a Tweet as “seen” (or hit mark all as seen as I have before), your Tweets change from this:
To this:
(The slight variation being the little white dot disappears.)
Syncing Your TweetDeck Between Two Computers
Great question from Bob in Kingston. (The question being the header above.)
This is done inside of the Settings panel of TweetDeck but before I show you how to do this – let me caution you on something. It’s not perfect. While it does sync your two accounts, the “marked as read” and “seen” Tweets don’t always reflect across multiple computers. Even with this method. And, you still need to setup your column preferences on each computer.
1. Login to Tweet Deck and click on “Settings”
2. Click on Sync (the last tab on this window).
Ideally, this is *supposed* to work – this is why TweetDeck has the sync option but I’ve found that it doesn’t always connect to the server thus not creating a perfect replica of what you have in both accounts.
3. Login to your other TweetDeck account and do the same process.

Twitter Change: Design Settings
Earlier today, I blogged about Twitter changing their following / followers look and feel. Now, Lukas (our graphic designer and @TheLukas on Twitter) informed me that they’ve also changed the look of their design settings.
You can see in the above image that instead of listing a bunch of hexidecimal codes (the color codes that appear like this –> #000000), they are color palettes.
Once those are expanded, you can see the new way of choosing colors:
You can slide the slider through the colors which auto-generates the hexidecimal code. The visual look and feel of the four squares is great because then you can see how your color scheme works well together.
What do you think?

Canadian, Please – Epic Video for Canada Day
Wanna learn more about my country? Canada Day is Wednesday so in celebration… I bring you, from Julia Bentley & Andrew Gunadie, “Canadian, Please”:
CANADIAN SING-A-LONG!
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We’ve got the world monopoly on trees
And our country’s bordered by three different seas
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we’ve got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n’était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L’anglais et le français
Ooh la la
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
And when freshwater is in high demand
We’ve got the world’s largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it’s even better if you can be…
CHORUS
So you’re thinking to yourself,
“How do I live in this beautiful country?”
Well we’ve got some steps for you to follow…
STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You’re ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we’re sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron…
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can’t build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris
We’ve missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
