I haven't scheduled tweets, though--something I may look into. I do almost everything on the web, though--so I know I'm not being as efficient as I could be! I only follow 135 right now--as I follow more I know I'll need to find a better way... I have a similar way of working with my tweets–using favorites and such.

]]> Comment on How I Twitter by marijane http://www.allmylibraries.com/blog/2009/06/03/how-i-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-6 marijane Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:37:27 +0000 http://www.allmylibraries.com/blog/?p=131#comment-6 Hi Greg! Thanks for the link to Jesse's video, and for leaving a comment. =) The biggest thing keeping me from using TweetDeck is the fact that it's an Adobe AIR application. I hate having to download a runtime environment in order to run applications -- it's the same reason I'm not a fan of Java. The few AIR apps I've tried were slow and frustrating. That said, I'm intrigued by PeopleBrowsr, since they let you group tweeters like in TweetDeck via a web-based interface. I am considering migrating there, I need to investigate the features more first. I also agree the Twitter interface is clunky, which is why I mostly use it for catching up and marking favorites. I forgot to mention in my post, another reason why I use HootSuite is because, like many Twitter clients, it makes retweeting as easy as clicking a button. I don't understand why Twitter hasn't added a retweet button to their UI. Hi Greg! Thanks for the link to Jesse’s video, and for leaving a comment. =)

I also retweet posts on the spot rather than marking them to check later. As for following more people, Jesse Newhart has <a href="http://jessenewhart.com/twitter/how-to-effectively-follow-15000-people-on-twitter-using-these-tweetdeck-tricks/" rel="nofollow">a great video tutorial on his site</a> about how he follows 15,000 people. He uses Tweetdeck (as do I) in his example, but there are other Twitter clients (for Mac and Windows) which can help, as well. I don't use Tweetdeck exactly like he does, however. I use it mostly because I find the Twitter.com interface so clunky.
