New Upgrade to Tweetdeck

The latest upgrade to tweetdeck features more ability to share comments on facebook and myspace. It looks like tweetdeck is adapting to what Seesmic and other similar tools are using and also adding more social media services such as myspace to it. Are you using Tweetdeck...why or why not?

Quick admin note

Please don't advertise your business on here. We had a poster create a new discussion that essentially was an advertisement for his service.

The purpose of this group is to be a resource for small businesses who need social media help and advice or just want to share some of what they are doing with social media.

Thanks!
