If you sign up for a twitter account at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\">twitter.com<\/a>, you can easily see how to use Twitter, but you might wonder how you can possibly manage following more than ten people.<\/p>\n<p>Actor Anderson Cooper was on the Kelly and Regis show this morning discussing twittering. Not only were they discussing twittering, he was twittering during the show. Kelly Ripa\u00a0\u00a0admitted she\u00a0doesn&#8217;t Tweet. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s time now that she learns how to twitter.\u00a0 Anderson not only is a twitter fan, but has\u00a0\u00a0221,110 people following him. He actually used his phone to twitter during the show.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-735\" title=\"anderson-cooper-twitter-profile\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coolchecks.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/anderson-cooper-twitter-profile.jpg\" alt=\"anderson-cooper-twitter-profile\" width=\"291\" height=\"346\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Twitter applications have been developed to help you manage your twitter friends. I&#8217;ve read and heard about a lot of applications, but the one I like the best is called TweetDeck and you can download it from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tweetdeck.com\">TweetDeck.com<\/a>.\u00a0 To the left you will see Anderson Cooper&#8217;s profile that you can access from TweetDeck.<\/p>\n<p>What is fun about TweetDeck is that it has a tracking capability that let&#8217;s you track certain people or keywords that people are talking about.\u00a0 It gives you 10 columns to use. For each column, you choose what you want to appear in that column.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to create a group of people that you know personally you can see what they are saying and their comments are all listed in one column. If you are tracking what people say about Iphones, you can choose that as a keyword and have a column for all the tweets about Iphones.<\/p>\n<p>The reason that is fun is because you can then begin conversations with people who are talking about things you are interested in. In the photo below, you can see a sample of TweetDeck. I am only showing two columns because of space limitations, but you can have up to ten. There is a slide bar at the bottom of the application that let&#8217;s you quickly view all of the columns. You can also change your groups whenever you want.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-736\" title=\"tweetdeck\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coolchecks.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/tweetdeck.jpg\" alt=\"tweetdeck\" width=\"632\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tweetdeck is free and very addicting.
