Wow… would have figured they'd optimize that issue in the 5 months since I've posted this.

Hey there. I just stopped using TweetDeck. I loved the thing. When it was working. It would stop updating, or an error would show up on he bottom stating something about twitter api not functioning. I got fed up. Back to HootSuite to me. Nice and simple and web based. I created new columns and junk from work, and they stuck when I logged in from home. Yep. Web based apps. Gotta love it.

Bro, if you claim to need 47 columns, get a real computer !
I have about 30, and TweetDeck is not taking a dent into my ressources.
MacPro 8 Core and 16Go of RAM, and I can take you to the moon if you wish.

I don't know if I really “use” Sony Vegas, more than “attempt to get the simplest thing done and still end up getting baffled figuring it out with all the options”

Sure, it takes a little extra time to edit a video because of its complexity – but I'd rather do that, learn more of the functions and then eventually be able to use it's full potential.

I think we're both in the same frame of mind, Angela. Like I said, I really do think TweetDeck is the best Twitter app out there and I loved using it. The fact that the shortcomings really hinder my specific purposes just means it's not the right solution for *me*. For those who only have 1-2 accounts, not many lists and don't need to run any resource-heavy applications on a regular basis – I'd give TweetDeck a big thumbs up and would recommend it.

I used to like it for the same reason… I prefer an desktop app-based solution more than a browse-based one. It's always a pain in the ass to tab back & forth to check up on things in the dark while I play Football Manager 2010 (my game of choice).

Got off tweetdeck when they kept prompting for my user accounts even after integrating and also due to the same fact it slows down my PC. I'm on Hootsuite now. Glad to know you also use Vegas for video editing!

I have a few issues with TweetDeck but haven't noticed it taking up much resources on my computer actually. Then again my computer has issues besides TweetDeck or could it be because of? I'd better check into that now that I think about it.

Never heard of CoTweet… Will check that one out.
