Tweetdeck Adds Facebook Updates

There's no doubt about the popularity of Twitter in the UK anymore as these latest figures reveal:

"Market research company Nielsen Online says Twitter grew by 1,689% from February 2008 to February 2009.

That means there are now more than 1.78 million people signed on.

This time last year the social networking site only had 100,000 members."

This also means that it's time to get onboard for your business as well, but it's not always easy keeping track of all your followers and those you follow, and that's where something like Tweetdeck comes in.

Tweetdeck allows you not only to tweet till your heart's content but also to follow everyone else you are interested in via your desktop.

Based on Adobe's AIR platform it's a very slick interface, here are some screenshots:




And with their latest added Facebook functionality you can now also track your friends' Facebook updates as well.

Looks like a very promising piece of kit.
