Tweetdeck is a social media dashboard for the management of Twitter business or personal accounts. It helps to show you at a glance what is happening on your Twitter accounts by dividing information into easily viewable columns.

You can create columns for mentions, direct messages, lists, trends, and favorites plus you can follow and unfollow all from one place. To help keep organized you can schedule your tweets on Tweetdeck and it also supports URL shortening.

In a nutshell, TweetDeck users can tweet, reply, retweet, favorite, send Direct Messages and manage and monitor multiple accounts and streams, all in one single interface. Accounts can also be followed, muted or blocked, and users can view Twitter profiles, all within TweetDeck.

This is an effective way of managing your accounts, once you have found the right people to follow on Twitter.
