Welcome to All your TweetDeck Questions Answered, the blog post that has grown from a few words of advice into the most comprehensive list available of frequently-asked questions (FAQs) about TweetDeck.
I hope that you find these FAQs helpful. If you did, do let me know either by leaving a comment or reaching out to me on Twitter (@richardbarley).
And if you know of anyone else who is new to TweetDeck and looking for some tips, why not help them out by directing them to this site? They’ll think you’re a great friend and I’ll love you forever (in an author/reader kind of way, nothing funny…)
If you leave this post thinking “darn, he never did answer my question”, then I want to know about it. If there’s a question about TweetDeck that you want answered, let me know and I’ll see if I can add it into the list. If I feature a question you suggested (or an answer you provided), I’ll give you my thanks and a link to your site, so don’t be shy!
