Having failed completely to get Tweetdeck working – Adobe AIR not wanting to play happy with Ubuntu – I’m really glad I finally checked out Spode‘s JournoTwit.
Embarrassingly, I had no idea he was such an accomplished coder. This really is a great app, which filters out stories from potential news stories as well as highlighting @ replies, retweets and auto-loading pics. And, there’s a mobile version too.
Even better, it doesn’t require a proprietary format like Adobe AIR to make it work – it’s all done in PHP and Javascript. Of course, it does mean I’m trusting Spode with my login details, but he works for the Telegraph now, so he’s clearly a man of integrity, right?
