The new Tweetdeck experimental version uses the “User Streams API” from Twitter and it is turbo charged. It’s so fast that my All Friends stream of 7,724 people is almost a blur.
This version is in limited release but you can request access by going to the Tweetdeck site, logging into your Tweetdeck account, and submitting the request. I received an email back from Tweetdeck a few hours later.
If the video demo below scares you, don’t request the new version yet.
This tweet from @Gorillamonk made me want to download the new version and see just how fast it was.
Here’s a view of my Tweetdeck stream. It hauls booty.
Are you likely to download the new version after watching this video? Or does this look out of control fast?

I LOVE the rate bump. The people that I follow, a lot of them tweet heavily and I always feel like I'm playing catch up with conversations. Now, I'm almost reading their minds. There ARE times when it can get overwhelming but I'm well aware of the consequences.
My heart started pumping faster when I installed it. Kind of like going from a Waltz to Techno music beats.
Strange but actually part the post is displaying up for me. Is this the website or my net browser. Should I restart my web browser?
