The New TweetDeck

Here are a few screenshots of the new TweetDeck update in action:

Allow TweetDeck access to Google Chrome to access web location services.

TweetDeck will find out where you are and set your location.

TweetDeck now knows where I am.

Choose from a range of previous locations or add new ones.

Record videos directly from your webcam and upload them to TwitVid.

Here are a list of the new features:

  • Support for Foursquare and Google Buzz. The location-based services from your desktop are also new. TweetDeck for iPhone or iPod Touch were the only versions of this third-party applications which could tweet your location but now you can do it from the comfort of your own home.
  • Scheduling tweets to be automatically post themselves in the future instead of posting themselves immediately after you hit Return.
  • Some people you may wish to follow as not to be rude but their updates may get a little bit annoying, and with Global Filtering, it's now possible to hide updates from people you follow, by filling in a form within TweetDeck, choosing to filter out tweets based on username, hashtag, or even service, so if you don't wish to see '#justinbieber', Global Filtering will eject her from your TweetDeck stream, permanently.
  • Pasting a URL into the tweet composition box results in it being shortened, but now, clicking the link will toggle between original and shortened URLs!
  • Privacy is an important matter so your location will only accompanying regular tweets. If you send out a tweet in reply to someone, they won't be able to see your location. The developers obviously built this feature with privacy at it's core.
  • Tweet translation is now easier to access and does a better job.

See the full list on the TweetDeck of new features on the TweetDeck download page here and grab a copy while you're there! It's the best third-party application available for PC and Mac without a doubt. Thanks for reading :)
