**Update**

The information below is from 2009 and is seriously outdated. I was going to delete this post, but since a lot of people still search for topic, I wanted to provide an update.

Twitter bought TweetDeck back in 2011. TweetDeck seemed to disappear for a while and then Twitter brought it back. Now, it only supports Twitter. It’s still a useful tool – allowing you to create and manage lists, compose and schedule tweets, and easily jump between different Twitter accounts.

**Old Info**

The latest version of TweetDeck allows you to view information from your Linkedin Account as well as your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Here is a quick tutorial on connecting your LinkedIn account with TweetDeck.

[Click on any of the images below to view a larger version]

First, you need to connect to your LinkedIn account. Click on the Settings button:

In the left hand column, click on Account. Then Add New Account. Then on Add Your LinkedIn Account.

You should see the following screen asking you to login to your LinkedIn account

Once you click the “Grant Access” button, you should see a message that you have successfully added your LinkedIn account.

The next step is to add one or more LinkedIn columns to TweetDeck. Start by clicking on the Add Column button

When the window below opens, click on the LinkedIn icon

From here you can choose what information from LinkedIn you would like to add to your column by using the checkboxes on right. You can have one column with all of your LinkedIn information or you can use as many columns as you like to organize your information the way you prefer.
