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?

The latest version of Tweetdeck, a popular Twitter client, now allows users to post to their Tumblr and WordPress.com blogs.

In this video, I review how to set up a new Tweetdeck account and post to a Tumblr blog. This is the same process that you would use to post to a WordPress.com blog. See my notes below the video.

Will you use Tweetdeck to post to your blogs?

Notes

• To post to Tumblr.com, the Twitter Base URL setting is “http://tumblr.com”
• For WordPress.com, the Twitter Base URL is “twitter-api.wordpress.com.”
