Week 1 Curation: TweetDeck is a Wonderful Thing

I'm no stranger to the wonderful world of bookmarking - bookmarking videos on YouTube to show to friends later or bookmarking my favorite Buzzfeed lists to come back to if I'm ever having a bad day.  But when it comes to curating a certain space on the internet and making it my very own - TweetDeck, a version of Twitter - has been the best platform.

As someone with multiple twitter accounts (one public and one private) TweetDeck has been a lifesaver.  On the app on my phone, I have to manually flip between one account to another which can get time consuming if I'm trying to monitor both accounts, but with TweetDeck, I can monitor, and tweet from, both accounts at the same time (shown below).

I've edited out the content due to consent and privacy issues from the people I follow with locked accounts.

TweetDeck allows you to monitor multiple feeds at the same time, all of which are scrolling down in real time - so you don't have to hit refresh every time you get a new notification.  If you follow a lot of people, then I wouldn't recommend TweetDeck just because the tweets would be going by so quickly, there probably wouldn't be a lot of time to read every one.

Because I can pick and choose which columns I want up and which feeds I want displayed - TweetDeck gives me a bit of space that is wholly mine.
