Overall Satisfaction with TweetDeck

The Digital team uses TweetDeck to keep an eye on the latest news, follow trends for content ideas, and publish and schedule tweets to promote our content and to drive traffic to the website.

As a media outlet with multiple Twitter accounts for different parts of the company, being able to access them all via one platform is remarkably useful. TweetDeck lets you flip between different accounts at the press of a button, ensuring the correct content is sent out via the correct account.
  • TweetDeck is the best platform to schedule tweets - it is far better than the website itself. The process is remarkably easy and scheduling a day's worth of tweets takes no more than 10 minutes.
  • Tracking news is very easy on TweetDeck due to being able to create multiple columns each focusing on a different subject. Columns can be created using handles, searches, hashtags, and trends, and this makes TweetDeck a great platform as a news editor.
  • Keyboard shortcuts can occasionally be frustrating, as one press of the wrong button can start a direct message. While using an account with millions of followers, this can lead to incorrectly sent messages.
  • Occasional log-in problems occur, though these are typically solved by logging back in through Twitter.com.
  • Using TweetDeck has played a key role in growing talkSPORT.com by more than 150 percent over the past 18 months, largely due to an increased number of social interactions.
  • More content is produced due to the ease of TweetDeck, as staff can spend more time working on the website rather than being forced to slowly schedule tweets on the native client.
Scheduling posts on Twitter Ads was always a relatively timely task, whereas TweetDeck is easy and quick. This means more can be done on the platform in a shorter amount of time, so extra work can also be done elsewhere.

It is, in my personal opinion, the best client for using Twitter, and is far better than the native platform.
TweetDeck is a great platform for using Twitter, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who continues to use the native client. Having both a web client and application means it can be used anywhere and on any computer, even if you are unable to install applications on your PC.

For any news editor who needs to keep tabs on the latest news and promote your own content - TweetDeck is a must-have.

TweetDeck is very useful in an industry that requires the gathering of news and sharing of one's own content. We use it on a daily basis to keep track of breaking stories and key trends to inform what content we produce.

After this content is produced and published, we then push it on social using TweetDeck. While many things are posted immediately, we also schedule a lot of content throughout the day to ensure 24-hour coverage. The platform is remarkably suited to this job, more so than the native web client.
