Chrome Deck: A Powerful Twitter Client for Chrome

Hey guys, MKBHD here and in this HD video we'll be taking a look at Chrome deck which is a combination of tweet deck which you may have heard of it's an Adobe Air application for Twitter and chrome which happens to be coming out very popularly right now as Chrome OS comes out and chrome 9 the browser beta has been released. I did a tutorial on that earlier uh so there's really a got a lot of good features that you can get out of chrome uh and to use Chrome deck as a web- based application as opposed to a desktop app.

So, without any further ado today are my top Chrome deck tips. To start it all off Chrome deck is available at the link in the description where you'll visit the Chrome web store where Chrome deck is actually free to download it goes by the name tweet deck but since it's available in Chrome they'll call this version Chrome deck so you can install it from right there just like a Chrome extension would and you'll immediately have it in your new tab section under apps and you can open tweet te just from right there. I'll call it tweet Tech from now on and boom if you've ever used tweet dech you're pretty pretty much already familiar with and you will probably already know how to use Chrome deck because it looks exactly like tweet deck.

Adding a column just like in tweet deck is as simple as you would expect just hit that Arrow up top and pick a column that you'd like to add it'll give you a preview of it and you can hit the add column button in the blue that's it. Also, moving around those columns that you've added was actually really easy for me to figure out all I did was eventually just grab that bar at the top of column and drag it to move and it locked itself into place and that was pretty simple. You can move whatever column you want wherever you want I could imagine you using something like this in Chrome OS where everything is browser based and just really easy to figure out.

So, without any further ado let's take a look at that compose window up at the top which is a separate feature and what does this remind me of yeah that's right tweet deck. The thing is you can't exactly change the colors like you can in the real version of tweet deck but you still have all the same features as in adding media like I showed you composing a tweet and having a tweet counter and also being able to choose what account to post from like a Twitter account or a Facebook account or a buzz account or really whatever you want.
