Adam, great post.
Tip #2 is great I have people ask me about that a lot. Also the link to oneforty.com is pretty cool too. I think I'll probablly use the one google reader fav feed the most though.

Thanks again for the great post.

Thanks, Adam, finally got it to click through and grabbed the code. Now to get with "my guy" who'll explain how to put it in my page. HTML illiterate. I use hootsuite too. Didn't realize tweetdeck had groups, that's why I went to hootsuite.

Hi Judy - Did you try http://twitter.com/goodies/... ? From there you can pick the platform you'd like to use and get code to copy/paste.

Thanks Ileane, I appreciate the feedback. I've heard good things about Hootsuite, but I really dislike the overlay of the ow.ly header bar on shared tweets. I tend to use Bit.ly to share more and get the data behind the scenes instead. I've invested a lot in creating/managing Tweetdeck groups - I hope the developers of Tweetdeck continue to push the envelope with features. Plus I love that the groups are portable across computers and mobile devices now.

Thanks for weighing in and glad to see (via retweets and traffic) that people are finding this post helpful.

Hi Adam, I like this post. My favorite tip here is #2. I think that since most people are using Twitter apps that forget that Twitter has some awesome resources of their own.
Personally, I love using HootSuite to track my @ileane mentions. The mentions column stays visible at all times and you are right, you don't want to forget to give the proper feedback to a mention. You can create groups and it goes beyond TweetDeck by providing stats for your tweets and retweets. You also get a custom toolbar for links when you use the Ow.ly link shortener.
There is another app that doesn't get much exposure called Brizzly that also lets you create groups.

Thanks for the post and I hope to see you in Twitterville.
