Hit the (Tweet) Decks!

This is a really great bit of kit – you can search through your own contacts Tweets or everyone’s Tweets, allows you to queue Tweets until later, create threads from replies (Plurk should start to be worried as this is one of the main advantages they had over Twitter) and more!

I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
