I have had several folks ask me how I keep up with all of my social networking accounts. It’s quite simple actually. In order to manage multiple social networking accounts I have started using a wonderful tool called TweetDeck. Most people don’t realize that TweetDeck is used for much more than just Twitter. It actually allows you to manage multiple social networking accounts at the same time as well as more than one Twitter account, which is convenient for anyone with an account for his or her business and personal life.
For example, if I wanted to update my status on Twitter and Facebook I would simply open TweetDeck (I have a convenient little icon on my desktop), type in my update, and press enter. Each time you update your status, you simply decide which accounts you would like to update…it can be any combination of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Myspace. The default is Twitter…probably because most people update Twitter more often than any other social networking account. Sometimes I will update just Twitter, sometimes I will update Facebook and Twitter, and sometimes I will even update Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace simultaneously. No, that was not a typo, I am pretty sure I spelled simultaneously correctly. Haha! You can update Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter with a single stroke of the enter key on your keyboard. It’s awesome! I no longer have the need to actually visit twitter.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com, and myspace.com on a daily basis to manage multiple social networking accounts.
When it comes to social networking management tools, TweetDeck is pretty much the end all be all for me. I don’t really need anything else to get the job done. What about you? Do you sign in to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace everyday? Do you have a favorite tool to manage multiple social networking accounts?

I second this, Tweetdeck uses Adobe’s Air platform and it works great! For mobile devices SocialScope is another way to go for all of your social needs, but I think its still in beta, or at least the BlackBerry version:( I think there looking for beta testers for their “lite” version though.

I totally agree Nick, Tweetdeck runs so nicely on the Adobe Air platform! This could be a topic in itself…now that I think of it…hmmmmm…maybe I should write a new post about Adobe Air soon. Anyway, thank you for the recommendation on a mobile social networking management tool. I checked out SocialScope, signed up for an invite to the private beta, and followed them on twitter. I am thinking that they may not have a beta ready for Windows Mobile yet. In the drop-down menu for “device” they have the iPhone, the T-Mobile G1, at least 10 Blackberry versions, and “other” which must include Windows Mobile…haha! I do hope SocialScope can invite me to beta test their product with my Windows Mobile phone. Thanks for the comment Nick and I hope you have a happy new year!
