Tweetdeck the favorite twitter application that helps coping up & organize our tweet experience is now available for Linux desktops. Clicking 'download' button from a linux PC will turn the button text to 'Installing Tweetdeck'. You can keep on waiting, but nothing will happen.

To really install Tweetdeck in Ubuntu (or in any linux distros) have a look at Tweetdeck's support page.

But wait, it's even easier!

If you are not comfortable with 'command line' typing, you don't have to follow the method mentioned in that page. You can do it entirely through mouse click (and one-time password typing).

Get Adobe AIR & Tweetdeck download files from Tweetdeck's support page. Currently there is no other way to download linux version of Tweetdeck, so do visit that page to get it.

First, Adobe AIR

While downloading Adobe AIR choose for 'deb' package (for Ubuntu, SimplyMephis, Debian). After downloading it to your folder, just open the folder and double-click the 'deb' file. An installer window will open.
