Ways to improve TweetDeck
March 13th, 2009
First let me say, I’m still not convinced with Twitter, but I’m using it and I don’t think I’m going to stop any time soon. TweetDeck is the best client I’ve used so far (I’ve only used Twhirl), but there are a few things that annoy me with it. So I’m writing them here in the hope that someone reads them and fixes them.
- Page up and Page Down don’t work, ever. Either does the other keyboard ways of scrolling, the Google Readeresque “j” key or using the space key to scroll down. This needs to be fixed, soon.
- When you have scrolled down and come back to the window later, you don’t want to have to scroll all the way back up.
- There is currently no way to view someone’s profile. What I do at the moment is add a search column for a user, then click on one their username and delete the search column.
- There is no way to manage your friends/follower list
- Not really an interface problem, but TweetDeck is THE worst user of memory on my computer. It leaks memory worse than Firefox 2, and that’s saying something. It has such limited functionality that it’s memory foot print should be minimal.

can i also add to your list, being able to look at older posts of someone on twitter. at present you can only go back so far, sometimes you need to go way back to look for a specific tweet
