Twitter Groups in Tweetie (or Anywhere)

tweetiegroup1

For those of you trying to create groups in Twitter on the Tweetie Mac app, I found a solution.

It’s almost a little too simple, and isn’t the cleanest thing around, but it gets the job done.

So the solution?  Use the search.  Here’s how.

In the search bar, type in “from:username” of the person you want to see tweets from.  A search will pop up with anything they’ve tweeted.  Cool.  If you’d like multiple users, type in “from:username OR from:othername OR …” until you’ve got all that you need.  Make sure you favorite the search to come back to it.  Then, you have a TweetDeck or Seesmic style group you can come back to.

This does work in Seesmic, and I assume it works in TweetDeck (though I haven’t tried), and I’m sure it works in any client that uses Twitter search.  In Seesmic, I’m using it to keep track of my family because I miss about 70% of their tweets.  This way I can still catch theirs.

Hope you find it useful.  Any other group ideas for Tweetie?
