So you may be asking, “is there a way to use tweetdeck to see your updates in facebook”? Why yes there is It is included in TweetDeck v 026.4. It You can’t see everything in your facebook account but you can see all the updates that your friends are doing. It just makes your job of keeping up with your friends and twitter a little easier. No need to have multiple tabs open watching each. Hopefully in the next update of tweetdeck they will let it give you even more information.
There are other plugins for Firefox that you can use to see what is happening in your facebook account but they slow down your browser a little bit. Overall if you haven’t been using tweetdeck yet then you are missing out.

Although twitter is huge, people tend to follow in similar groups and if they start to catch wind that you are just basically plagiarizing others tweets they might start to think of you a little differently.

How do you manage your time between the two social network giants? Both of these places need your attention but which on should you focus on? This is the problem that people deal with. Lets look at the advantages of using each platform.
Facebook is a place where you can store all of your life from photos to videos to groups to whatever else. Oh yeah lets not forget your friends.
