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.

"Adobe AIR ist a "no go" for me"
Version: TweetDeck 0.35.1
Pros
No pros: I dropped my interest because of Adobe AIR
Cons
The download doesn't work until you have install Adobe AIR
Summary
I really would like to try TweetDeck, but for me Adobe AIR was the reason that stopped further steps directly. Today, Adobe is one of the biggest bloatware manufacturer for me and my decision is, that I won't use any Software which based on AIR, respectively on Flash. I hope the developer switch to an other devoloper tool. Sorry.

Summary

No font controls? Fuzzy looking Adobe Air ware. I personally found it had a lot of cool features, but the interface is hideous and let's not talk about accessibility. Air stuff runs poorly on os x. Steve is right. -
