BellaOnline Forums Computers Blogs & Social Networking TweetDeck

I love Tweetdeck's groups feature -- so useful for filtering Tweets from different people. Not sure about the answer to the Facebook question thugh, since I don't link my Facebook status and Twitter.

Yes, I like the groups you can create to cut down on the number of items in the list. The columns do make it very manageable.

Angie, I might have a lead on a new windshield by next week and hopefully there will be an install after that. Then I will batten Serenity's hatches and take a slow cruise to northern Arizona. I won't miss the heat here!

I do link my tweets to facebook, but via FriendFeed.

Anyone done one of these things recently enough to be able to list any of the steps for us?

Hope you find the windshield and get it installed. No fun if you cannot drive your RV around.

I have my groups in TweetDeck now so that is working nicely. Very manageable. Each group is a column side by side with the other columns.

In essence I glance at it every hour or so to see if anything interesting has come through. If I see someone spamming their particular column, making lots of off topic posts, I remove them from the group and that's that. It doesn't affect my followers or anything.

That's great, Lisa! I am so glad you found the perfect way to make Twitter useful for you.

Angie, thanks for the good wishes. I actually have new hope that I might be on the road in two weeks, which would be just awesome.

Lisa, what categories on tweetdeck did you decide on?

Jill - I'm not sure what you mean by categories?

I have a column for each account I have. So a column for low carb, a column for gaming and so on. Each one is the group I made up of all the people I'm following for that account. That way I can see what they're doing - and if someone starts spammy behavior I can remove them from the group without taking them off my actual follower list.

Right, Lisa that is what I mean by categories. :-)

So you don't have one for family/personal friends? Just wondering. So you have one for each of your interests, then? Like if I had one for Yoga, or Joss Whedon fans, as opposed to just a general timeline of people I like?

I think the difference is that I already have entire different accounts set up for different interests. So I have a BellaOnline one which is solely BellaOnline editors that I follow and promote. I have a low carb one which is solely low carbers. So all info I put out on a channel relates only to that channel - and all news coming in also relates only to that channel.

So personal friends would be on my lisashea channel / account.
