We could make a dictionary of "Twitter words"

The only thing I really wish that I could do with TweetDeck is drag people between groups - the plus or group edit functions are a little clunky, but get the job done.

I agree though, you have to put filters in place or you'll go nuts.

That is a great article. I was unaware of some of the apps available. I downloaded Tweetdeck but have never gotten around to using it. Will do so now.

I have over 500 followers, but they don't all tweet at once. I have no problem skimming through them. Filtering is fine, but then you can't relate as well socially with your followers, which means you'll miss some of the fun.

Wow, I didn't realize how offended people are to be de-friended. I'd better be a lot pickier about whom I follow!

Wow. This is really useful. I'm loving Twitlert - very useful indeed. Particularly the advanced settings...

I don't follow that many people yet. My main use of twitter is to extend my radar.

Twitter is great to discover things you would never have known existed in the first place. But thanks for your post. It will sure come in handy soon enough

I skim through the tweets and answer any that interest me. You can't network and get to know people if you mute them.

I think he said (in one of his posts about twitter somewhere) that he only reads @replies and DM. Not sure if this is absolute or not, but I'm guessing that even at that filter level there's still a lot of noise to contend with.

I can't imagine using twitter any other way than with TweetDeck. Ever since I switched over to it twitter has been a completely different experience.

Jun, I am a fan of Tweetdeck. I have been having problems setting up the groups and isolating a column. Does anyone have any advice?

Tweetbeep and Google Alerts are indispensable. I like Tweetdeck a lot but it's so damn big...and the scrolling was never smooth for me. Loving my combination of Twitterific, Syrinx, and twitter.com for desktop and Tweetie for iPhone.

One thing I really like about Twalala is the "whitelisting" of certain phrases. Sometimes it's not hiding of tweets that I want... just a visual cue when a certian tweet contains something I know I'm interested (my company name, my username in an @reply, CSS, etc.). That way, I see my whole stream, but I can QUICKLY scan to use profile images or highlighted tweets (from terms) as my visual cue to stop and read that one. Of course, I like to read as many tweets as possible, but when catching up on 10+ pages of tweets, it's just not possible...

Jun-

Thanks for the mention of http://twalala.com! Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still in very early development. (We built the app in 48 hours for this years' Rails Rumble.) We're reaching toward the goal of a fully-featured web-based client and would love feedback from Mashable readers who've kicked the tires on twalala.

Thanks again.

@Nicola - oh wow, I know a lot of people who use Qwitter. Guess they won't be able to protect themselves from those people who massively friend and then defriend

@Brian - My basketball coach in high school called me Juan actually. For some reason he thought that was the "right" pronunciation. Let me know when it's in full release

@Ted - My goal is to start taking little mini vacations starting July 2009. I will document my progress on my blog

@PixelPunk - Glad I could help!

This was exactly the post I need to read at exactly the right moment. I was always wondering how @guykawasaki did it...I assumed he hired a staff to take care of it for him. Thanks for the education.

Hey Jun,

I really like the site you made, futuredelivery.tv! Good job on this post and the fun videos!

@Darren: there are over two hundreds sites and services that are built around Twitter, so Jun couldn't cover all of them, but Morty is a bit harsh :)

@Brian: if you want to thank a person, you should at least spell his/her name right :)

I look forward to more!

Juan -

Thanks for the mention for JustSignal. We are working hard to move the site out of "pre-release" beta and launch new services - which will include real time brand monitoring.

Thanks again for the mention - and if you need any more information about what we are up to let me know.
