Tweetdeck is a free desktop tool provided by Twitter that can make using Twitter easier and more effective. Tweetdeck allows you to see multiple columns on one screen (so no more switching views) and also allows you to manage multiple accounts which can really help if you manage a departmental account as well as your own.

There is no need to create a separate login, and you simply use your Twitter login details.

Columns in Tweetdeck can consist of your timeline, saved searches, Tweets from list of people on a topic, notifications, your 'liked' Tweets and more.
