TweetDeck Teams Simplifies Account Management
Twitter have added TweetDeck Teams to their TweetDeck application.
If you’re not sure what TweetDeck is, it's a dashboard application for the management of Twitter and Facebook accounts. Like other Twitter applications it
interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and
view profiles. Pretty wordy stuff, right?
TweetDeck Teams is a feature that allows users to grant
others access to their account without having to give out their passwords. This
feature is mostly aimed at high profile power users and brands. I don’t particularly
think you’ll want to be giving a few of your mates access to your personal
account. Trust me, it doesn't end very well.
TweetDeck Teams allows the password holder to give users either
an administrator or contributor status. Here’s a rundown of what the two can
do.
- Admins can sign into TweetDeck with their personal
accounts and send tweets, schedule tweets and add or remove team members. They
cannot, however, access an account from outside TweetDeck or change credentials
or passwords.
- Contributors can tweet from the account, build lists,
follow and unfollow accounts, and send and schedule tweets; they cannot view,
add or remove team members, access the account outside of TweetDeck, or change
credentials.
Take a look at the video Twitter released showing us how
TweetDeck works:
Twitter described TweetDeck teams as ‘…a simple solution to
Twitter account sharing. It enables you to delegate access to as many people as
you like, and remove accounts when they no longer need access.’
Twitter knows how to make it sound so simple and look so
pretty and blue.
TweetDeck Teams does
look quite solid though. I’ll consider taking it for a quick test spin soon. I’ll
let you know how it plays out.
Who wants to be an admin for my Twitter? I’ll pay you in
pancakes.
