Twitter has announced a new version of TweetDeck with enhanced functionality.
The new version, which is initially available for randomly selected users in the US, Canada and Australia, incorporates more of what users see on www.twitter.com.
TweetDeck is a tool that you can use to manage multiple Twitter accounts, schedule posts and keep abreast of trends and hashtags. If you’re a social media manager, TweetDeck is probably one of your best friends.
In March, Twitter hinted at a TweetDeck overhaul and now it’s here.
People participating in the TweetDeck Preview can expect to see features that include a full Tweet Composer, advanced search features and new column types. Twitter is also introducing Decks, which is a new way to group columns into clean workspaces.
If you get the invitation to test the new version of TweetDeck and accept it, you’ll have the option to copy your search, list and profile columns into the new TweetDeck. This is a one-time option to copy this information into the new TweetDeck. If you switch between the current and preview versions of TweetDeck, changes you make in one version will not carry over to the other.
The new tweet composer will also allow you to add GIFs, polls or emojis to your tweets, including scheduled tweets in addition to photos and videos. You can now write threads and tag images.
You can also access new column types, including Profile, Topics, Explore, Events, Moments and Bookmarks. But other column types, including Activity, Followers, Likes and Outbox, have been removed.
Another new feature is called “Decks,” which allows you to organize sets of columns into separate workspaces. This could help those who want to create different workspaces associated with different themes or interests.
