OK...I've been using this all day it rocks. Completely blows away Twitdroid and the Android Facebook app. I'm very surprised this is free.

One bit of advice: set up your account on tweetdeck's website. Twitter and facebook have to link your accounts and it error'ed out on my phone.

wow has this app changed this much since it first came out on iPhone? I guess going one year without my iPod Touch has really changed things.

This sounds better than Ryan's idea of Woof from The Office :D

Edit: Font needs to be a bit smaller. Looks kinda giantish and a waste of screen space. I feel like the iPhone version is more space efficient.

cant find where to set it up on their website. I mean I signed up for a TweetDeck acct but nowhere do I find options to do linking on their site....

Took me 2 tries but I finally got Facebook to sync via the app itself. I setup the rest there since I couldn't find the stuff on their site.

Very nice! Not as full featured as the Facebook app but still very good at what it does. I like that I can publish stuff to Facebook and Twitter simultaneously. Only gripe is I want an options screen and the ability to manage notifications. As it is, out alerts me a bit too often. Good thing there's a "quit" option.

yeah..I didn't realize how limited the customization is. Also, the formatting is messed up so I can't connect to Buzz.

Still very beta...but still very nice.

I like Tweetcaster free. Much more feature-packed than the official Twitter android app and better than Seesmic, in my opinion. I tried downloading Tweetdeck yesterday, but it wasn't available from my phone, that I could find. I definitely got sick of the desktop app, though; seemed to hog a good amount of resources and slow down my laptop.

you can only get the Android app by invite. You can get one by clicking on the link I posted.

(Not a referral in any way. I stole that link from AndroidCentral)

Am I missing something or is there no way to view my Twitter and Facebook streams seperately? I like it being all in one app but I don't want them all in one stream.
