BGG (Blacks Gone Geek) Alerts are timely, quick read messages of particular interest to African Americans in IT.
 

I just started using TweetDeck. I like it so far. It alerts me when I get a tweet and it lets me group my followers. There are many other features too.

 

TweetDeck is an Adobe AIR desktop Twitter application. Like other Twitter applications it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and view profiles. According to TwitStat, it is the most popular Twitter desktop application.

 

Thanks to Cari McLean at HIMSS for the recommendation!

 

BTW, I looked at Twhirl too, but so far I like TweetDeck better.

 

twhirl is a desktop client for the popular microblogging service Twitter. It allows you to post short 140-character updates about what you are doing, as well as following your twitter friends and read all their updates, replies anyone sends to you, and direct messages to your account. You can also answer to another user by replying or sending him/her a private direct message.
