And now, with HootSuite’s somewhat draconian cuts to free features and fairly steep pricing structure, I’ve moved on to TweetDeck.

Hi, mleka. Thanks for the note. However, I’ve since moved on from Twhirl to Seesmic and have landed firmly in HootSuite. HootSuite does everything I need, even from my iPod Touch.

New version – new possibilities. You are welcome to try TewwtDeck version 0.35.2

I really liked Tweetdeck, but it is a terrific drain on one’s system – within a few hours of starting it my system was limping along at a glacial space – searching tweets on “Tweetdeck memory” revealed that an uncountable number of people have had the same problem. Pity. I really liked it.

I started out using Twhirl, but I’m using TweetDeck right now. I’ve only been using it for a couple days, so I don’t have a firm opinion yet, but it’s a slick product.

The columnar presentation is nice, but less useful because you can’t combine columns or fit more than four (comfortably) on one screen. I wish my direct messages and replies could be combined in a single column, freeing up more real estate for groups. I also wish that, if someone was in a group, I had the option to not have them show up in the ‘all’ column. The same goes for @s and direct messages.

I don’t use other services, per se. However, I will be using multiple Twitter accounts soon, so Twhirl may end up on top – based on your comments.
