TweetDeck

Best iPhone app?


Tweetbot, bar none.

Cuban Pete wrote:So what does tweetdeck do different to the twitter app?

It allows you to view Twitter lists as separate columns that you switch between by swiping left and right. For example, you have your standard Twitter timeline column, then your @mentions/replies, then a custom list you've created.

At first I thought it was pointless but I now realise it is the best thing ever made.

I use it to see what companies & vaguely famous people are up to. Not a member though.

I've had it for ages and tend to go through spells of posting/reading regularly to not bothering for weeks. I'm currently in the post like made phase... maybe I'll tweet about this.

You may be aware but there are loads of MMA fighters/personalities who tweet that you will want to follow. I recommend Dana White, Kenny Florian, Ariel Helwani, Arianny Celeste ( :shifty: ), Frank Mir, Roy Nelson, Rampage... the list goes on.

I've been on it for 2 years and only really just getting the hang of it. I've got about 100 followers (or disciples as I like to call them) and I'm following about 100.

So how can random people follow you? Do you mention a specific subject and people find you that way?

I use the official Twitter app for iPhone/iPod/iPad. I don't tweet myself, I just read other people's.

Anyhoo, any names out there people should be following?

I'll update this 1st page with more details


I've recently started using Twitter and I think it's great but bit confusing at times. Follow Joney Bones he will tweet you back he is that awesome.

Also Shane carwin. They are both following me. Here is a list you should follow

- Charlie Sheen
- Junior Dos Santos
- Ronaldo
- Obama :shifty:
- GSP
- Nate Diaz
- Ariel Helwani
- Joe Rogan
- Dana White
- F C Barcelona :shifty:
- 50 Cent ( he is hilarious)

All the cool kids are on Twitter.

You should follow Elizabeth Windsor, and this guy. Dave Gorman also seems a decent chap if you've read his books/listen to his show.

@bowlandwalks

But its just boring stuff for my walking site. You are welcome to follow me but DON'T post anything daft to me as my disciples will be upset.

If I know you're following I will covertly put the odd random thing on.
