TweetDeck is an application aimed at Twitter and Facebook users. It will help them follow their news feed and notifications and perform several other social-network related actions.
In order to use the application, one needs a Twitter or a Facebook account (or both) and a TweetDeck account also. The utility has a nice user interface where items of interest are organized in separate columns. Users can select which columns to keep in and add to the UI. The home section will display new posts, while other sections can be, depending on preferences: timeline, messages, mentions, trends, activity and others. Separate columns can be added for Facebook news feed and notifications. An interesting option is that posts can be scheduled for a particular day and time, however it might not always work, at least where Facebook is concerned. Users can post text, images and links. The "speech" option is available, so users cannot only read their news feed but also listen while it is read to them. Three types of filters are available: text content, author and source.
TweetDeck is a Twitter and Facebook manager that allows users to check news feed from both social networks in a single window as well as perform other actions related to managing and verifying their accounts.

I do not use the app myself, but some friends of mine are crazy about it. They like it that you do not have to visit your accounts to receive messages most of all. Probably I should try it too.
At first I was confused by the title of the program and thought that it works only with twitter. So its functionality was a pleasant surprise for me. Even though I don't have a twitter account it was handy to work with Facebook through it, even though not all features work well with it.
It is useful if you do not want to open your browser every time to check the messages your friends on Facebook write to you. Or you want an easier way to post tweets. I enjoyed using the app, though as the author said the sending time delay didn't work well for Facebook account.
