@ Polonus:
hello,
why do you mention Tweetdeck as a social network spying tool
I'm using it, rarely, not because I don't like it but I'm not really into the social network thing, apart from twice or three times a month...anyway that's enough to notice that Tweetdeck is by far the best external app for twitter (using Adobe Air). So what's spyware about it, I'm interested? I googled it and didn't find anything...
I mean you could just as well consider that login in to Twitter allows to spy other people twitting
...or is there anything special about Tweetdeck that you didn't mention...it leaves more tracks because it runs on the desktop and not in a browser? so what (well they can be easily erased), and people can't be forced to use it if they prefer the "normal" wen interface...
Only drawback I find in tweetdeck is that it doesn't connect in https like the web interface of twitter allows to, although sometimes it switches back randomly to http...but the good thing is that Avast network shield scans Tweetdeck activities constantly.
I know that's not the point, the point is that you put it in the list of spying tools for Twitter, and I really wonder why...
edit: I'm actually noticing now, running Fiddler, that tweedeck generates secure connections to Twitter on 443, but also connections called "tracking.tweetdeck.com" leading to "NGINX" (
http://wiki.nginx.org/Main ), some sort of proxy...
Oh I didn't mention that I never log in to Tweetdeck itself (ie I don't use a Tweetdeck account).
edit: I'm just thinking, do you just consider tweetdeck a spying tool because it can connect to several social networks in the same interface
(twitter/facebook/myspace) is that the reason?
