TweetDeck

Author: Jenna Vasquez

TweetDeck was founded in 2008 and is currently headquartered out of United Kingdom. In 2011, they were acquired by Twitter and now they are just a web-based tool for Twitter. Up until 2013, they also supported Facebook, but then removed then completely from their interface. To login to TweetDeck, you have to use your Twitter credentials – meaning Twitter and TweetDeck are no longer necessarily a separate service.

The Bad

• Twitter support only
• No printable analytics and reports
• No image storing or editing options

TweetDeck only supports Twitter. It does not manage any other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Youtube, and any others. They do not provide printable analytics and reports. However, you can view your personal statistics on their website; but they do not do reports that can be exported or translated into an Excel or CSV file. These statistics also cannot be made into PowerPoint presentations. They do not provide any time of image storage or image editing options.

There is no reason not to recommend this free service to Twitter users. However, they do not provide any type of social media management tools for any other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and any others.
