Twitter overhauls its client and trims down plenty of options Enlarge picture - Twitter overhauls its client and trims down plenty of options
The new TweetDeck looks awesome. Version 1.0 of the Twitter client is also easier to handle and offers a brand-new perspective over the twitterverse. It is also available for Mac and as a Chrome app.

One important aspect is that it is no longer an Adobe AIR app, but an HTML5-based one. The multi-column layout has been preserved, but the application has suffered a major cut-down in options.

The number of social network accounts has been trimmed to Facebook and Twitter only, scrapping options for LinkedIn, Foursquared and MySpace.

However, you can still use the old version of the app, as you can find the download at various providers over the web, Softpedia included.

In fact, installing the new TweetDeck will not eliminate the old one and the two versions can run together on the same system.

As brilliant as it looks, and as much as I would love to use it, there are just too many features missing. The new "tweet update" window looks far worse than the old one, there's no option to show all tweets from people you follow, you can't minimise it to the tray, columns don't clear themselves after you restart, you have to open a menu for every column to clear it which is incredibly annoying, you can't hit Enter to send a tweet... I could go on and on. There are so many things which you used to be able to do with a single click or keypress and you can't anymore - and even more features taken out entirely. I'm really disappointed about that, because I do like how the new TweetDeck looks, and I love the new Twitter.
