CNET Editors' review
The dark gray TweetDeck beta is one of the more attractive Twitter desktop apps out there. With it, you're able to engage with Twitter tweets much as you can on Twitter.com, and then some. TweetDeck beta, for one, also lets you follow friends' Facebook and MySpace status updates. It shares some similarities with Seesmic Desktop in its default tri-column view, which you can also shrink down to a single column. The requisite filtering buttons and other management tools help keep your in-box tidy. Like other Twitter apps, TweetDeck beta shortens links and manages pictures. You can block and unfollow contacts, even reporting them as spam.
The extras make it nice. TweetDeck beta includes a translation tool, and has recently added syncing, so you can keep your feed preferences and feed content identical on multiple computers and even the iPhone. It offers a lot of visual customization options, and the capability to add new columns, to keep up on search terms, for example.
TweetDeck beta still has some growing to do, especially in making its additional features a little more intuitive. So far its feature set is encouraging, and more robust than other, better established Twitter apps.

"The New version of this awesome product is a total fail"
Version: TweetDeck 0.38.1
Pros
Looks like the old TweetDeck
Cons
None of the features of the Beta, none of the features that made this the app to have.
Summary
I need to find a copy of the Beta version
-
"No longer user friendly"
Version: TweetDeck 0.38.1

The update lost many of the essential features I have come to love
Summary
Find a better program or else get used to this update

"Great when it works. Non-existent support."
Version: TweetDeck 0.38.1
Pros
Easy to set up; easy to read.
Cons
I can't find any contact information for support. I've tried Tweeting them, and I haven't seen an answer.
Right now, for example, my LinkedIn feed is not working, though my Facebook and Twitter feeds are fine. I have no way of determining if this is a local issue or a server one.Summary
It's a good tool. I'd prefer Seesmic, though that crapped out on me, too (yeah, maybe it's me!).
I wish it worked more consistently, and that there was somewhere to go for support. If not for those items, it'd be a 5 star app. -
"Waste of time."
Version: TweetDeck 0.38.1
Pros
None. I uninstalled it after 5 minutes.
Cons
No column for your own tweets! The most important column and they've left it out! Genius.I fail to see any advantage in using Tweetdeck over Twitter.
