Chromedeck Tips and Tricks!

The video provides a practical overview of Chrome deck, a web based Twitter client built as an extension that combines TweetDeck features with the Chrome browser, showcased as Chrome OS gains attention. The creator explains that Chrome deck is available in the Chrome Web Store under the name Tweet Deck, but since it runs in Chrome it is labeled Chrome deck, and it can be installed just like any Chrome extension to appear under the apps section for quick access. Once installed, the interface mirrors TweetDeck, allowing users to add and arrange columns by clicking the up arrow and selecting the desired column, then dragging column bars to rearrange them and lock them into place for a customized workflow. The video highlights the compose window as a familiar TweetDeck-like feature, including the ability to choose different posting accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, or Buzz, and notes that while color customization is limited, all core functions like media attachment, tweet timing, and counters remain available. Additional practical tips include that Chrome deck is web based so standard browser actions such as zooming, printing, and full screen work as expected, and even though the URL bar is not a website address bar, you can still perform Google searches from within tweets, reply to tweets in a pop out window, like, retweet, and direct message. The video also covers advanced features like infinite scrolling to refresh and reload timelines, and the ability to view Twitter profiles directly from the client, including following users. The presenter concludes by hinting at future coverage on Google Chrome and Chrome OS, including a potential Chrome OS pilot program and a CR-48 notebook test, inviting viewers to stay tuned for more updates.
