Twitter desktop client, Tweetdeck, has carried through in a big way on its promises to bring us desirable new features.

I use Tweetdeck regularly on my laptop, having found some of its basic features such as the ability to create groups and view them in columns, a big jump up from Twitter.com.  There are other desktop clients, but I hooked onto Tweetdeck and I’m sticking with it (for now anyway).  I use Twidroid on my Android-based T-Mobile MyTouch phone.

The new features let you integrate Twitter’s list function, view lists in columns and edit them easily.  You also have a choice of how to Retweet (RT) — stay with the previous Tweetdeck version which is editable, or go with the new Twitter version which emphasizes the original tweet.  The new version is not editable but shows the icon of both the original tweeter and the that of the retweeter (see image for example of both).

Those were the features I was mainly interested in, but there are more that may be important to you.  Take a look at the brief video to see what is new and how it works.

Then download Tweetdeck here and try it for yourself.
