Why I switched from Tweetdeck to PeopleBrowsr
A lot of you have been asking and quietly wondering why I’ve switched from Tweetdeck to PeopleBrowsr. Rather than trying to explain this over and over, I’m going to give you a comparison right here. The fact of the matter is that there’s too much in PeopleBrowsr to actually put into a single tweet!
Many of you know that I’m something of a power tweeter. I send a lot of tweets out, and I spend a lot of time paying attention to a lot more. When I’m tweeting a lot I tend to want to talk to many many different people. Social networking is all about engaging with the people you meet online, and if you’re following as many people as I am it’s a huge challenge to see what they’re doing.
Imagining the future with PeopleBrowsr
While I (
@Nurturegirl) am already in love with PeopleBrowsr as my twitter client, there are some key ways I anticipate PeopleBrowsr transforming my social media experience:
Community Development
Many of the coolest PeopleBrowsr features have been shaped by the PeopleBrowsr community.
Our development team, located in the US, Australia and Europe, works in different time zones to be very responsive to feedback.
Here are some of the functions that we implemented in the last weeks:
Why Jean fell in love with PeopleBrowsr
Grouping
I learned from @ValdisKrebs that I am a connector and a boundary spanner. So I was already using Twitter to follow people from many different networks that interest me. But it was getting hard to get what I needed from a single stream. PeopleBrowsr allows me to tag-group my different networks. When I am focused on a philanthropy project, I can give more attention to my philanthropy tag-group. As PeopleBrowsr grows, I can find other people that have been tagged with philanthropy too, growing my information guides and conversation partners. As a member of Guildsmiths.com, I grouped all the guildsmiths, so I can see what my collaborators are discussing. I can and have also sent messages to all the people within a group when I have an announcement, celebration, or link that I want a select group to be sure to see. (I can't wait to use this as a conference organizer!)

How a product/brand manager uses PeopleBrowsr
My name is Priscilla, I'm PeopleBrowsr product manager;
I'm interested in PB users' experience, ideas, suggestions, feedback and more.
I use PeopleBrowsr as a meta-tool, to monitor the PeopleBrowsr community and buzz.
Here is what I do:
Checking the buzz
I keep PeopleBrowsr running on my MacBook all day. I use it for work and for fun, mostly in Stream view.
Community Development
Here are some new great features to check out!@
johnfairley asked us for "Basically a shortcut to the search for "RT @
myusername" to see any
retweets for my tweets", so we created a special Report called 'People
Retweeting Me' for you to enjoy. Take also a look at 'Friends'
retweet' to see which of your friends have been
retweeted.
