Connecting to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace with TweetDeck

TweetDeck is an application through which we’ll be able to interact with several social networks at the same time, like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. To do it, once we access, we need to go to the icon that is located on the top right corner with a tool, which is the one to let us access the configurations. On the emerging window, we click on the right panel on “Accounts”, and then on the menu that opens “Add New Account”. Once we load all of them and connect, we are ready to see them simultaneously.

On that same configuration window, we can also define the appearance of the program, like colors and format of the notifications among other things. To do it we move through the different eyelashes.

Once we are on the main screen to update our status from TweetDeck, we’ll click on the yellow button located on the top left margin opening up a field where we’ll introduce the text to publish. On the right side on top of that field, we’ll find buttons that will let us include pictures on the post. To select from which accounts we want to publish, we indicate them checking their names on the top left part of the field being able to do it from all the ones we have registered at the same time.

On the main window we’ll see that we have a series of columns or panels, with the logo to the right of the service to which they belong. By clicking on the logo, we close the column. To open a new panel we need to click on the button with the “+” sign, located next to the button “Compose Update”. On the window that opens, we’ll indicate what we want to be displayed on it and from which account. As regards Facebook, to filter the contacts that we are only interested in, we click on “Create New Group”, determining right there those from which want to see the news.

An easy way to find what we want to see on a panel is by making a quick filter according to a keyword, being able to do it with a series of buttons on the lower part of each panel. On the field that opens we write the name, date or source and the filter is activated.

To perform tasks like answering a post or writing on somebody’s wall, we put the mouse on the contact’s image, and we’ll see that a series of options will appear according to the service it belongs to. Like that, very easily, we’ll be able to interact with our contacts with a single click.

To disconnect from the different opened accounts, we need to click on the button located on the top right margin of the main window, what will make TweetDeck to close as well.
