TweetDeck

55disk — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:10:54 +0000

Having used Tweetie on my iPhone for Twitter almost daily for months I thought it time to try Tweetdeck, and I have to say I’m converted. I love the added funcionality of saving searches and having spilt columns to view the results in. Tweetdeck also offer a desktop app that when you register keeps both the desktop and iPhone app in sync, very handy.

A great looking site for Patagonia called Tin Shed, you basically navigate around (although inside) a tin shed. You can read stories watch video and look at photos related to there products.

The use of photography is well done, and the site is great inspiration on how to combine these elements.

You zoom in to see more information.
