Julie, as long as you are using the same computer, your groups should remain when you log back in to TweetDeck.

It takes a long time to group, there should be a way to import/export groups from one to another. Love the idea of grouping, but I read my Tweets on 4 different tweetdeck computers.

This is just a technique you can use to filter the people you follow into different categories. Its a time saver.

Follow thousands of people, but really only look at your actual friends and a few others. Then what's the point of following thousands of people? I still don’t get it.

Not sure about Seesmic. I can think of several ways I'd implement it now, especially to get rid of news sites/people that I follow but that clog things up. @brad - you should see a slider at the bottom of the screen that lets you scroll right and left within TweetDeck. You can edit group by clicking on the group name within that pane. @christy - Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy Twitter over Facebook, for a variety of reasons. The people are great and the interface much easier to use in my opinion. @Todd - I hadn't heard of that, but I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the heads up. @jason – that would be a great feature, I’ll take a look but I haven’t found anything like that within TweetDeck. Not sure about Seesmic.

I'm an exception, but I've got a laptop set up just for TweetDeck. @Chris - It is surprising to me as well. I haven't spent a lot of time with Seesmic, but I've been working with a programmer to see if we can come up with something better. For now, I use TweetDeck and Twhirl, but I'm always looking for something better. @Theresa – I agree that TweetDeck does consume a lot of space, but if you keep it up and pop it open from time to time then you can still take advantage of it without using your entire desktop.

Sideline has no limits to the number of groups you can create ( Tweetdeck limited to 10? ) and you can create groups by people or keyword - critical for those concerned with brand management. I find more utility in Sideline than Tweetdeck, but, obviously, I am bias. I encourage you all to try Sideline out and see it "industrial strength" for yourselves. Also, The same people that wrote Sidline ( @chadauld @tylerhall ) have been experimenting with "influence". You can see the very alpha results here: http://clickontyler.com/important-people/ If you find value in the influence algorithm, be sure to vote to add it to Sideline. @chris

What helpful tips and strategies! Already implemented...and now I'm looking forward to really working with them. As a 'neophyte', I really appreciate you sharing your thought process with all the tweets out there and how to work with them. It sometimes feels to me rather like people are just 'tweeting' vs. connecting. For that reason, I've preferred FB. But, from your comments, I'm starting to understand how to build the relationships here more. Thanks! Christy Sharafinski The Wrinkle Godmother Nathan and Darren-
