Hi Chris

I am very happy that you found the videos useful. I have been using Tweetdeck for a while now and it is excellent and I believe it is safe. Many thousands of people are using it and I have not heard of any problems to be honest.

I think one of the big problems with Twitter, is that people find it hard initially to grasp the concept and jump in too early. As the video describes you need to listen first, start following people and then build up your followers.
As you probably already know tweets will only be seen by your followers, unless someone does a specific search, so if people haven't got any followers, their message is not going to be heard.

Have a great evening.

Regards

Harvey

Hi Harvey,

This is a fascinating video (as are parts 2 & 3) - thanks for posting it up! The music club I run does have a Twitter account that I set up for it, but I'm aware that it's not using Twitter to its full potential - I've linked the club's Facebook page to its Twitter page and so mainly update Twitter by updating Facebook.

Speaking personally, I'm very active on Facebook and not very active on Twitter, so this is why that tends to be the case.

TweetDeck looks like an excellent piece of software that would make Twitter much easier to use to its fullest - in your opinion, is TweetDeck safe to use, and safe to let have your Twitter username and password?

Thanks again for all the great advice and insight coming from this terrific group! :)

Best wishes,

Chris
