Last night the CIPR Social Summer series hosted a session on all things TweetDeck. If you haven't tried TweetDeck, try it now. It's free!
According to Twitstat.com today, after simply tweeting at twitter.com, Tweetdeck is the most popular Twitter client globally. Here's the stats I just grabbed from Twitstat:
| Rank | Client | % of users | Tweets/user | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | (1) | web | 16.80 % | 2.90 |
| 2 | (2) | TweetDeck | 9.50 % | 3.17 |
| 3 | (6) | twitterfeed | 5.90 % | 5.58 |
| 4 | (3) | foursquare | 5.85 % | 1.49 |
| 5 | (4) | Twitter for iPhone | 5.85 % | 2.38 |
| 6 | (5) | HootSuite | 5.39 % | 2.68 |
| 7 | (8) | Echofon | 3.22 % | 3.25 |
| 8 | (25) | API | 2.76 % | 6.66 |
| 9 | (7) | Tweetie for Mac | 2.55 % | 2.38 |
| 10 | (9) | Seesmic | 2.16 % | 3.02 |

It aggregates Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz and Foursquare, and it even lets you watch YouTube videos brought to your attention by your social network in situ.
So I was particularly delighted when TweetDeck MD Iain Dodsworth (@iaindodsworth) accepted our invitation to join us for one of our sessions to share his insights and answer our questions. Read more
