An idea for Tweetdeck

I love Tweetdeck but never seem to have enough columns, so i started thinking about how it would be useful to be able to define key search terms and access them really easily (without having to scroll every-which-way or juggle columns). This is a quick first mockup for this suggested feature. If you’re a Tweetdeck desktop user what do you think?

It could also be applied to users – so define your “top 10″ users to keep tabs on… this might help the signal to noise aspects of the main timeline…

    Hi,

    Thanks for the idea, and the mock-up; they’re really interesting. We’re actively looking into ways to make TweetDeck easy to navigate and also to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio – I hope you’ll see the fruits of these labours soon!

    All the best,

    Tom
