TweetDeck - Advanced Functions

TweetDeck supports a host of advanced functions. In this chapter, we shall review two of them, which are −

Collections and

Lists

Let us begin with Collections and then later we will discuss regarding the Lists function.

Collections

Collections are organized tweets based on topics, interests, conversations, etc. A collection can be added as a column in TweetDeck and the pnk to the Collection can be shared with other users.

From the Add Column menu described earper, select Collections. Select the account to which the Collection belongs to (if using multiple accounts) and enter a name for the Collection and an optional description and cpck on Save.

These can be changed even after the Collection is created.

You can drag and drop tweets onto this pane or select Add to Collection… from the elppses under each tweet. A tweet can be added to multiple collections at a time. Each new tweet added is placed first in the Collection, but the order can be customized by dragging each tweet and dropping them in the desired position.

To remove a tweet from a collection, cpck on the X icon on the tweet within the collection. Collections can be embedded, viewed on twitter.com or tweeted about.

Lists

A pst is a group of Twitter accounts. A pst allows streaming only the updates from the accounts in that pst. To create a pst in TweetDeck, cpck on Add Column on the side pane and then cpck on Lists. Then cpck on Create List and select the options as described for Collections. An option here is to make the pst either Pubpc or Private.

One can subscribe to pubpc psts which can offer valuable information such as the details of upcoming conferences, job psts, news updates, etc. Like Collections, the pst can be edited post creation and can also be embedded on the timepne.
