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:

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.

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 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

Thank you SO much to Adam Haroun for writing this article and for naming me #4 on the list…  I appreciate it greatly!

Although, I must admit that it does make me feel a bit of Tweeting pressure…

For those of you who haven’t had the chance to visit Canada just yet…sure, we might have some brutally cold winters, and throw the occasional  (or not-so-occasional) “Eh” into our sentences, but one thing you may not have come to realize about Canada is that we are a land of emerging young entrepreneurs and leaders who are taking social media by storm and leaving our mark in the world!

I have been privileged to meet many brilliant young entrepreneurs and emerging leaders through social media; including many of my fellow Canucks! Through networking on Twitter, I’ve been able to get to know many dynamic, driven entrepreneurs and leaders in an array of industries, stages of business development, and of all different ages…and now I’m thrilled to have the chance to share these young movers and shakers with you and why they are great people to learn from and follow on their path to success.

If you think I’ve left anyone out of this list (or if any mistakes have been made), please leave a comment below and we will make necessary adjustments.

However, some people are still perplexed at why one should use Tweetdeck over just going straight to a browser, accessing it via a mobile device or using something over Tweetdeck.

Here are three ways to use Tweetdeck to improve your Twitter experience:

1. Categorize Your Twitter Followers
   Tweetdeck has these things called “groups” and you can setup as many of them as you want.  Once setup, you have the ability to then list them in columns for easy access and so you can see them at all times.  Some of the columns I recommend include: clients, team, favorites, tech tips, etc.  Categorize
   the things that are most important so you can converse with your rock stars in a much easier way. 
    
2. Use Tweetdeck to Clear Replies You’ve Seen
   Do you ever find your @ replies just get to be overwhelming?  If so, use Tweetdeck to “mark them as read” so that you know you’ve either seen it or actioned it and you can now move on.  The worst thing about the browser interface is that you can often forget if you’ve replied or not and then spend a lot of time going back into your history.  Tweetdeck eliminates that. 
    
3. Setup Notifications to Play When Tweets Come In Directed at You
   Now, some people may find this distracting but as more and more people use Twitter as their primary means of communication, you can use Tweetdeck to be notified immediately as to when someone mentions your name or messages you directly. This will help you stay on the top of your game without being too distracted by e-mail and telephone.

These are just three ways that you can use Tweetdeck to improve your Twitter experience.  It helps with automation, ease of use and helps to keep that conversation going.

If you use Tweetdeck, what are some of the ways that you find it helps your usage of Twitter the most?
