Becoming a Twitter Fiend

**HOW TO USE TWEETDECK:**
1. Go to http://tweetdeck.twitter.com/
2. Sign in with your normal user/pass
3. Enter the Matrix

Tweetdeck uses "columns" with continuously updating feeds.

These columns can be used to track virtually anything in the twitterverse, from the tweets of a specific user to the search results for a hashtag.

To add a column, click the "+" sign on the toolbar, choose a type, configure, then click the "Add Column" on the lower right.

Removing a column is easier, just click on the icon at the top right of a column then click "Remove" from the drop-down options.

For example, to add a column for tweets marked "#gamergate":
1. Click the "+"
2. Click "Search"
3. Search for #gamergate
4. Click "Add Column" at the bottom.

(optional steps - no RTs):
1. Click on the icon at the top right of the #gamergate column
2. Click on "Content"
3. "Retweets" drop down menu select "Exclude"


Personally, I suggest adding -
Yourself, Notifications, #GamerGate results, Direct Messages (if you use it), and various lists (elaborated below).

Consider removing -
Activity, Home

REMINDER THAT YOU CAN VIEW/SORT YOUR COLUMNS ON THE LEFT TOOLBAR

THIS WILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT FIRST BUT ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT YOUR TWITTER PRODUCTIVITY WILL SKYROCKET.

**HOW TO USE LISTS:**
1. Add column
2. Lists
3. Create lists
4. Name it (read "Note" below)
5. Add people to it
6. DONE (optional - Disable RTs)

Now you have a constantly updating feed of tweets from your favorite users.

Example lists -
one for proGG journalists (Oliver Campbell, revuelabs, etc.), one for prominent GG people, and one for users you personally like.

I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you set up filters (Ex. only showing tweets with #gamergate) so that you're more likely to see the important tweets.

Note:
There are two types of lists - Private and Public
Private only visible/usable by you but public lists everyone can see/subscribe to.
You can find lists that other people have made by clicking on their username and clicking "Lists" at the bottom of the pop-up.
