Do you like to tweet? Or follow other people’s tweets? Are you a heavy Facebook user? Do you like to follow your favorite entertainers on MySpace? Do you network with other business professionals on LinkedIn? If you engage in one or more of these activities, you know how time consuming the whole social networking thing can be. This is especially true if you participate in more than one social network. Trying to keep track of your friends and posts on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn can be a real pain.

Unless, that is, you use TweetDeck, a program designed to consolidate all your social networking activities. TweetDeck is a godsend for heavy social networkers, letting you write a single message and post it to multiple networks. It even lets you track posts from friends on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn and the rest. One program for multiple social networks—what’s not to like?

The problem with TweetDeck is that it’s not always intuitive to use. There are lots of things it can do that you probably haven’t figured out how to do, and there’s no proper instruction manual or help file to help you learn. In short, TweetDeck is a great program—if you could figure out how to use it.

That's where this book comes in. Sams Teach Yourself TweetDeck in 10 Minutes is a quick-and-easy way to learn how to use TweetDeck to manage all your social network communications. Every lesson in this book is short and to the point, so you can learn everything you need to learn at your own pace, in your own time. Just follow the straightforward Sams Teach Yourself in 10 Minutes game plan: short, goal-oriented lessons that can make you productive with each topic in 10 minutes or less.
