Tweetdeck – New Features
Tweetdeck has a new release today – version 0.31.1 – and in addition to many other addons and fixes they have added a new column for New Followers.
With the click of a button you can now have column dedicated to any new followers you have. For people like me – ones who hate the email notifications – this is fabulous and will help me connect with many more people. It’s not often I would click on my followers column to see who is new and what kind of people I have been attracting. Now with one glance I can see all these new contacts and quickly say hello if I choose.
When you have the column open and the new followers are there – what is so great here is that they don’t show in the column with their last tweet- but their Twitter BIO. Just Fabulous!! You can quickly see who this new follower is and what they are all about. Another reason why your BIO should always be very representative of who you are and what you do – I always tell my clients, Think “Elevator Speech” when thinking of what to put in your BIO.
The Tweetdeck new version downloads are now much simpler – simply exit tweetdeck, download the new version and in a minute you will have your Tweetdeck back up and running with all the new features. Some of these new features are a new notification system, some keyboard shortcuts and a bunch of fixes to help Tweetdeck rum more smoothly on your system.
For me, this New Followers column is tops! It will allow me to better reach out and say Hi to new followers – Talking on Twitter is so much better than Selling!
Thank you for staying on top of these things, Kathy! This is exactly what has been lacking in Tweetdeck. I stopped using email notifications a while ago because of the volume, and have been using Tweepler to process new followers, but it takes so long to load, plus I have to remember to log in! This way, I’ll be able to stay on top of new followers on a timely basis.
Janet – I was SOOO excited when I saw this – mainly because it will help a lot of my clients too!
