Over the last few releases, our TweetDeck Champions have provided us with valuable insight on some of the new features we have included in the final builds for you all.. This dedicated group of TweetDeckers spend many hours working through the application and sending us very detailed feedback which helps us to shape the final version of the application.
With the next release of TweetDeck on the horizon, we are now looking for even more Champions to help us make this release the best one ever.
As a Champion you will be expected to install each pre-release build as it is issued, test it thoroughly, giving particular attention to any areas that we highlight, and provide detailed feedback.
You will communicate with us through a private forum here on TweetDeck Support, accessible only to Champions, where you will be able to chat with the TweetDeck team and your fellow Champions about the testing.
If you think you'd make a good Champion, leave a comment below telling us why you should join the gang (and don't forget to include your Twitter ID). If we agree, we'll let you know in an email.
We look forward to working with you to help make TweetDeck even better for us all!

Dear TweetDeck, my name is RJ Jacquez (@rjacquez) and I work for Adobe Systems as a Product Evangelist and I'd love to be a TweetDeck Champion as I'm already a TweetDeck Evangelist for my followers.
Please let me know what else I may need to provide in order to participate in this program.
Sincerely,
RJ Jacquez
@upsfeup is here for the ride!
Already submited a few "undocumented features" and I'm ready for more.
I use Tweetdeck at all my computers and I can't tweet without it. It has come a de facto for tweeting in my world. I will happily test all the features in tweetdeck to make it even a better program.

Hi all!
My real name is Shaun Lorrain, (@gatetravellers) and I wouldn't mind being a TD Champion to help the community by giving feedback and submitting bug reports on new and old features that have been changed or broken in the new upcoming versions. TweetDeck is such a great Social Networking client that I don't know how I could live without it now. I hope that the TweetDeck staff continues on this wonderful project as I'm sure its helped thousands if not more people.

Hi , this is @v_shakthi at your service , I am already a tweetdeck evangelist with my 6000+ followers and love to help . Tweetdeck to me is THE ONLY twittering option . Nothing else matches it even remotely .
Thank

Very interested in becoming a TweetDeck Chamption. I currently use TweetDeck for both my personal account (@jdivosevic) and for our company account (@synqsolutions). For work I use TweetDeck on a single PC. For my personal account I use TweetDeck on a desktop, laptop, and iPhone, with all three synchronized. I also have the Facebook integration setup for my personal account. Both work and personal are also using bit.ly authentication for shortening and click-tracking purposes. I'm a pre-release junkie and have participated in beta feedback programs with some of the biggest names in the tech industry. Please let me know if any other information is required. Thanks, Jason.
I'm interested in doing so.
I'm a QA Tester for an IT company anyway and a heavy user of tweetdeck. I've reported bugs before anyways and would like to take a more in depth role to helping the progress of such a great app.
I use a Macbook Pro, OSX Snow Leopard but also have Windows 7 Ultimate on Bootcamp - so two different OS's can be tested with ease.
My Twitter name is @Ravenatic so give me a shout :)

Would love to be a TweekDeck champion. I train people in how to use Tweetdeck so need to keep up with latest developments and understand how the detail works. Being a champion would facilitate this. The tweetdeck Training is carried out either face to face or using an online classroom and comes complete with detailed user guides. Before becoming a trainer, my background was in program development and system testing, so have experience in 'breaking things'! Twitter id is @concisetraining.

I'm really excited about the new release. I'm an early-adopter and tweetdeck fan. Furthermore Tweetdeck is running on my Mac (Snow Leopard) and Win XP, so I could test it on both OS.
My twittername is @andi1984.

Hi. My name is Colum McAndrew (aka the @robocolumn) and use TweetDeck both at home and at work. It is an excellent tool for getting hold of exactly the information I need. The use of columns allows you to focus on the precise information you require whilst maintaining the ability to see all your followers tweets if you need. As a major user of TweetDeck (I LOVE IT) and beta tester of Adobe Robohelp software, I'd love to get involved in the next beta so that we can together make this the killer Twitter app!

Hello, I'm a long time user of TweetDeck on both my Mac and my iPhone, and I would love to be one of your champions! My name is Nicolas Hoizey, and my twitter id is @nhoizey

My un is LynZ_Ann and I would love to be a champion. I use this on my PC and my iPhone. I am CONSTANTLY on it, and use just about every feature that you have to offer. I have some great ideas that could help make this app the best one out there. I so hope you pick me....I would be a great asset!

I'd love to be a tweetdeck-champ. I use it all day, at home and at work. And I'm a developer and have experience as a tester so that should prove useful. My twitter id is @raminhossaini

Hey, I'd love to be a tweetdeck champion. I feel I would have lots of feedback to contribute concerning features and bugs in tweetdeck. I work in an information systems department and deal with, service and test a lot of software for the web. My username is @nebachanezar.
@planetf1. Work as a SW architect on Enterprise Applications for a large IT company. Have a particular ability to break most things I touch, but also do a fine job of identifying and fixing. Use tweetdeck on Fedora 12 x86, Ubuntu 9.10 x86, Windows 7 x64 & frequently install beta sw ie air 2.0, flash 10.1 etc. Enjoy reporting bugs (ie on linux kernel etc) improving product quality for all. Not a flash expert.

Richard, I've been using Twitter (@danyork) since December 2006 and after trying out pretty much every major Twitter client available I've become a huge fan and advocate of Tweetdeck and use it on my Macs and iPhone. I head up a marketing team and have set my team up using Tweetdeck for Twitter monitoring and interaction. I write extensively online and have been chronicling who tools like Twitter and Tweetdeck can help business communications at sites like http://www.disruptiveconversations.com/ And, as a perpetual bright-shiny-object-chaser, I'm always trying out new products and services and providing feedback. Would love to help in the continued evolution of Tweetdeck. Thanks for the consideration.

Richard, while I am somewhat new to Twitter (iWarrior30) I am currently using TweetDeck on an Windows XP, Windows 7, MacBook Pro and iPod touch. I would welcome the opportunity to help test new versions of TweetDeck on all of these platforms.
Brian Thornton

I would love the chance to become a TweetDeck champ. I work in IT as the day job, so can install on any OS that you wish to test the app on. I also will be honest with feedback. Plus I tweet a lot so you can be sure that TweetDeck would get a proper work out hehe. I have beta testing knowledge apparently I made Windows 7, well I beta tested it for a year, yep you can blame me :) But to be serious I am testing various beta versions of popular Social Networking apps, and am giving feedback privately to each dev, so confidentiality is guaranteed here.

My name is Andrew (@mylostshadow) and I'm currently using Twitter extensively to finely manage the people I follow (albeit not many) with extensive groups and filtering options as well as search columns; I'm a computer science student with a background in UX and software development as well as an editor for a small IT blog and screencaster.
I would enjoy being a Champion because I love the software and would like to see the behind-the-scenes action as well as take part in it by providing input on new releases and helping other members of the community with their issues regarding your software.
Kind regards,
Andrew C.

Hello Tweetdeck Dev Team,
I (@KitsuneDragon) would love to apply to the Tweetdeck champion's team. I Primarily use Ubuntu Linux and I love living on the bleeding edge. I use Twitter very very often I follow many people and have many followers. I also have almost 10,000 tweets. So I would love to try out any beta version that comes out and help with any problems(on linux). Tweetdeck is my only(desktop) twitter application because on my iPod I use Tweetie. Thank you for reading my comment.

Hey Folks!
I'm a designer from Chicago, IL, and I have a weekly live video chat/podcast called DesignChat. It started as a twitter-based chat so it was important to me to build a following early on in the process. TweetDeck was essential in helping me to do this and it remains important as I move along and release shows. I love to talk about design on twitter and share with the design community.
I constantly think of new ways that I can talk to my audience and I think I could bring great insight to TweetDeck's development team.
I'd love to help in any way I can.
Cheers,
Ryan McGovern
@hupajoob, @designchat

My name is Matthew. My Twitter Username is Mattjsrules. I have sent more than 5,000 tweets (five-thousand tweets) from TweetDeck. You can view this information yourself by going to this page: http://tweetstats.com/graphs/mattjsrules
I have TweetDeck installed on 2 computers (Windows XP/Windows Vista) and my iPhone. I use TweetDeck for Twitter and Facebook. I use it almost everyday. I would love to give feedback and improve TweetDeck. I am very good with computers, and I would love the chance to be apart of the team. I can give you feedback about TweetDeck for Windows along with the TweetDeck app for the iPhone.
I can't wait for the next version of TweetDeck, and I am looking forward to giving you feedback.
Hi,
if this is still open I would very much like to take part. I have a technical background (including product software validation) and run TweetDeck on an XP based netbook as well as iPhone. I use both for Twitter (@craigt44) and Facebook.
Thanks,
Craig.

I am an editor at Techmeme and a staff writer for MakeUseOf.com. I am a power user of Twitter, managing multiple accounts. Already part of Team Seesmic. Would love the opportunity to test early builds of Tweetdeck for testing and feedback.

Ah - Twitter IDs I use are @ScepticGeek (public) and @Palsule (private).

I am already a Tweetdeck Champion in the truest sense of the world. I am pretty technology and internet savy, managing a website design and development business, assisting clients in User Experience and User Interface. I would love to assist, in any way possible, the continued development of Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck makes my life easier - Tweetdeck can only get better - Tweetdeck is what Facebook and Twitter should be already. I use it on both my macs and my iPhone. When on a contract, consulting, I've loaded it on client supplied laptops too. For the Mac, I love the Growl integration and the ability to search on a hash and set that as a column!?... I'm gushing... I would like to help make Tweetdeck better in any way I can. If it just means being an "advocate" instead of a "Champion" I will do that. How ever you'd like to use me, please feel free.

Poder visualizar cuando alguien visita tu perfil que te diga quien a sido ?
Podríais poner en TweetDeck que se pueda visualizar cuando alguien visita tu perfil de Facebook y te diga quien ha visitado tu perfil, también las fotos,etc ? , pero en esencial el perfil, sería lo mas poder saber eso, la gente se revolucionaría al saber que se puede saber quien ha visitado tu perfil en Facebook, espero un respuesta pronto y gracias, este programa me gusta bastante, lo único que le falta es eso.

very embarrassing - richard, I had a 1am moment - and couldn't remember passwords etc. I am now using tweetdeck on my work PC, iPhone, macbook pro mac side, macbook pro win 7 via bootcamp, and have been able to stave off the attempts of others to get me to change to the other applications out there for mac and pc to make twitter easier to use. I am always the first to adopt new releases in my twitter groups, and to let my followers know about new versions of tweetdeck. I would love to be able to report back to tweetdeck about any issues / enhancements that I use in the day to day interaction. my twitter ID is peterhau

I would love to become a Tweetdeck Champion as I already consider myself a Tweetdeck evangelist. I've tried giving other Twitter apps their fair shake but Tweetdeck continues to outshine/outclass the competition in every sense of the word. I would love to continue evangelizing Tweetdeck as well as help further improve the product by giving input and testing whenever I can. Please feel free to contact me anytime @sqlchicken or http://sqlchicken.com

I would love to be considered as a Tweetdeck Champion. I am a web developer with over 20 years experience in programming. I am quite used to using beta and/or alpha level software and I am one of those who seems to be able to find those tiny errors that get overlooked by most, I don't know, its a gift ;). I use Tweetdeck, not only for my personal use, but also for a small business I am trying to get off the ground. I currently have 20 columns in my Tweetdeck, including 6 twitter list columns, which I believe would make me an ideal candidate for evaluating Tweetdeck under stress. You can contact me at @bige54 or elliot@elliotlipson.com.

Wow. Yeah, I'd love to be a TweetDeck Champion. I'm running it on two computers and my iPhone, with synchronization. I follow a decent number of people, and use multiple services. TD is a standard tool that I use more than anything except 2-4 browsers On top of that, I am a support guru with 27 years of experience in various fields. I now support software, specializing in an API. I write bugs, and know how to tell the right story, with the right details. I'm yer guy.

Of course, I left out that I'm "LockjawTheOgre" on twitter.

Hi, Tom Warren, Managing Editor of Neowin.net here. We'd like to test Tweetdeck Air versions and iPhone versions before they are publicly available. My personal twitter account is @tom_warren and I manage the @NeowinFeed account too. We have been using Tweetdeck for months now to manage our accounts. Would be grateful if you made us champions!
Thank you

Add support for laconi.ca and other microblogging platforms, and I'll be a loud champion for Tweetdeck.

I am not a tech person (although I do recruit them) and wonder if someone who uses TweetDeck all day most days who does not have a tech background would be of help. Seems to me there are a lot of non tech users of TweetDeck and it would be nice if someone like me were a Champion. I use Twitter and TweetDeck for many different purposes and believe that would be of help when thinking of new things, issues, etc.
@MNHeadhunter @Gopher @MNRecruiters

I would love to be a Tweetdeck Champion. I currently use Tweetdeck with a Mac, Win7, and my iPhone. I have multiple accounts on each computer, and use Tweetdeck as my exclusive desktop client. I've tried some of the others, but Tweetdeck is constantly ahead of the game and extremely stable. I work creating learning objects for a university and I think I'd be a perfect person for usability testing on different features. Twitter: cgfaulkner

Iam a freelance software developer. Iam really interested in this project, i like to be part of it for the idea to create an open source app of Twitter in all platforms. Two weeks ago i'm starting to develop one module (but is in JS using Greasymonkey, for example) to call Twitter API and then i decided to create a big client. The client is in alpha version and is a native thing for Unix. When i see your client i reconsidered the option to help you in your software.

Óscar Ramos,
Greetings.

I'm a network admin and trance DJ/producer. I've got an angle from a few uses of twitter (marketing/promotion, research as a music enthusiast, research as a tech enthusiast and tech industry worker etc). I use TweetDeck on my Mac and iPhone (and sometimes work laptop... TweetDeck account authorisation's blocked at work, so that's only when I'm the road) to organise my Twitter columns into each category. I'd also love to see future TweetDeck improvements to improve my twitter experience (synchronisation so I can see which Tweets I've already read across each platform etc.).
Twitter: @angusgibbins

Yes, I do love TweetDeck. It is up on all my devices; laptop, iPod, Blackberry (sadly, no). I would love to be a champion, especially when it comes to the Blackberry. Please note. Many companies have put out temporary applications for the new Storm and Storm2 which aren't really "Touch" aware applications and this makes them difficult to use on the new 'berries. If you have someone on the team that can demonstrate something like foursquare which is great on my iPod and almost unuseable on the BB (alhough, I use it) this is a good example of what NOT to do. But, I can't wait for the platform update!

Hi, I've been using tweetdeck pretty much since it first came out. Its an absolutly fantastic application and I always look forward to any new releases. I am constantly exploring new handheld devices as part of my day job and try to use tweetdeck where possible. I would absolutly love to become a Tweetdeck champion as I feel I would bring a great deal of knowledge and support to the table on how to improve the application as I really enjoy testing new products and services and giving my feedback on them.
My twitter ID is @paulgroganeu
Many thanks for your time!

I'm a TweetDeck user and fan. It goes on all new computer installs I do, as the default Twitter client for my customers. I'm also a tester for other hardware/software products, so I'm familiar with finding and fixing issues as they crop up.
@akulbe

Well, I am definitely a fan, work across multiple platforms such as Windows, iPhone, Symbian, Windows Mobile etc. I also used to own a hi tech company and product test for various companies.
Am an early adopter of all technology!
Cheers!

Ah, should have said @lsdnick

Hi I use TweetDeck, like Paul above, everyday and love the application. I am very technically minded and currently hold a support role for an ISP in the UK. I have a Palm Pre WebOS device as well (and I am hoping you are aiming to port to that soon) so could use that for testing should you role out a version for this. A have a very analytical eye and am part of the new products and services testing team for my company. I would love to become a TweetDeck Champion and get a chance to shape this applications future in some small part.
My twitter name is @andrewwardlaw
Thanks

I would love to be a Tweetdeck Champion! I am no stranger to being a tester and can provide valuable feedback for the program! I use Tweetdeck in a PC and iPhone environment on a daily basis. I'm an SQL data manger by trade, and all around geek. I have submitted issues and suggestions both here in the support forum and on twitter itself. Please consider me for your Champion program!

@markparris I use tweetdeck daily and would like to be considered a champion as it would complement my day job.
We use Tweetdeck for all our accounts and would love to become a tweetdeck champion! We're always looking for updates & advancements. We use tweetdeck about 12-16 hours a day 7 days a week so we think we'd be perfect to test and report back.

@pablogdeanda here,
Hi, the new version already came out but, if this is still something you requiere I would love to become a tweetdeck champion.
I love this software and I'm about to test the new previews, and I have already explained to several friends about TweetDeck and how it makes things easy here. I'm from Mexico but I use TweetDeck in english, and I love uploading my pictures directly from TweetDeck synched with my twitpic account, I would love to be able to do that directly with videos and twitvid too.
If I can be of any help, I would love to.
Sincerely,

Hello all, my name is William @wardrobeguy Im very much looking forward in participating in Tweetdeck Champion Team. Currently a Beta Tester for RIM and Ubertwiter. look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi All,
Like most of the commenters i love TD when i'm on Twitter from my home PC and been wondering for awhile when there finally would be a build for the Blackberry platform.
I am a tester for a few other Twitter apps for Blackberry and i love to test apps very thoroughly so it can be perfected for the masses. If you do accept me to be a TD Champion, you can expect lots of feedback for the developement.
I hope you guys will accept my application to help out in the testing program and hope to hear from you soon. If not, I still will be looking out for the Blackberry build which will probably rock just like the builds for the other platforms!
Good luck and thanks in advance!

Think of Tweetdeck like a restaurant. The whole premise of owning a restaurant is that you make great food however the most important part is returning customers - if customers don't return then it doesn't matter how great the food is. That's me with Tweetdeck. I've tried Tweetie for Mac, Echofon, Nambu, Seesmic, Socialite, and Twitterific. And yet here I am, always coming right back to Tweetdeck. The mark of a truly great software. Gordon Ramsay would be proud! Hope I can become a Tweetdeck Champion :)

BTW I'm really waiting the Android version too.
Please let me know what else I may need to provide in order to participate in this program.

My name is Bob Toovey (@bobtoovey) and I am an expat in France who has already written about Tweetdeck. Apart from Richard Barley, I may be the only other person writing about Tweetdeck in English for the expat community in France. I have promoted Tweetdeck as a tool to research/promote and to connect with future clients/customers in France for expat businesses. I am a Linux user and have been for some time. It's the only way I would consider keeping up with Twitter!
It would be great to become a champion and to further promote Tweetdeck, it is a great tool and long may it live!

I'm @_JonBaxter_ & I would like to apply to be a TweetDeck wonder-horse ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5i_pEYGe1o ). I can press buttons & break things quite well. A large part of my life has been spent as a single parent, patiently translating the realities of life & technology to my growing children in terms they can comprehend easily; I should therefore have no problem in reversing the translation provided the developers accept technical terms like 'the thingy' & 'that greyish wotsit'. I use TweetDeck exclusively (except when it can't re-tweet something written too long or the Facebook API is screwed up) to post humourous opinions to a dwindling set of followers. As with many of the above, if you want it breaking, I'm your man.
So, why would I make a great addition to the already fantastic TweetDeck Champion team you may ask? Well, first off, I am a bit addicted to twitter, and love to use it any and everywhere that I can. A lot of my work is done as a cellular blogger, so I spend a lot of time infront of the computer and TweetDeck is ALWAYS running on my machine. I have downloaded it on several different computers, incase I am not at my MacBook. TweetDeck has helped me significantly since it basically gives me real time RSS feeds on my timeline with the 10 second refresh rate, and for all the help that you have given me, I would LOVE to give back to you guys. I have spread the word about TweetDeck to many, and converted them from averaged twitter users to TweetDeck twitter users. I would really like to use my love for technology, along with my knowledge of computers to help test your amazing application. I use many of, if not every single twitter related feature, and I am very good at communicating, so if there are any issues, it would be well communicated between me and the TweetDeck team. Well, I guess enough rambling, as you can tell I would love to join the Champion team, and definitely hope that I am selected!! Thanks,

I'm Prakash P (PPrakash) & I'm hard core fan of Tweetdeck. Apart from being a tweetdeck user I also recommended it to lot's of friends. I helped them in resolving various issues whether it's of Tweetdeck application or AIR platform. And I use tweetdeck across various platforms ( Win XP desktop, Win XP Laptop, Win Vista laptop, Ubuntu Desktop & RedHat Server) and it works like charm everywhere. Sync is one of the wonderful feature which made me use TweetDeck extensively. And another important fact is that if there is no Tweetdeck I would not have been a Twitter addict & I would not have enjoyed twitter as much as I do now using TweetDeck. Also tweetdeck helped me to acquire lot's of gifts shared by my friends in various FB application before anybody notice that it's be available :-D
And surely it would be a great pleasure to be a TweetDeck Champion & help tweetdeck community in their day to day issues. Also will be a tester to report zero day bugs :-)

Hi, I would absolutely love to become a tweetdeck champion. I have been using tweetdeck almost since it was released and I find it an integral part of my day to day life both for business and pleasure. I have recommended Tweetdeck to a number of people both personally and professionally and they too have agreed that its now an important and very useful tool for their day to day operations of making social networking very useful. On a daily basis I use both iPhone and Blackberry and would be very interested in providing feedback on new improovements for both of these mobile platforms aswell as for the desktop versions as I use both Mac and Windows on a daily basis. My twitter ID is @paulgroganeu and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I would love to beta test the Blackberry version. My twitter name is @smcoldBB
@richardbarley can tell you I've been bugging him about this as soon as I read it :D
I use and love Tweetdeck on my PC and can't wait to see it on my berry
Keep up the good work guys!!

Not only do I use TweetDeck as my client of choice on a laptop, a netbook and my iPod Touch, but I also evangelise about the product to everyone I discuss Twitter with. I use TweetDeck across three Twitter IDs (including @PS3Attitude and @DolphGB) for customer communications, branding and 'behind-the-scenes' tweets. In addition, I use TweetDeck to manage a weekly competition.
Finally, I teach Social Media processes to businesspeople once a week and always push TweetDeck as the client of choice for small businesses. I'm a seasoned beta tester and know how to give quality feedback, as well as coming up with innovative feature requests. So - pick me!

My names Stephen Robinson (@xstex) and I'd love to be a Tweetdeck Champion. I have been using Tweetdeck on my desktop for as long as I can remember and always have it running if I'm on my computer. I have seen it progress over and over again and has always remained the best twitter client.
I often send my ideas to tweetdeck and seem to get good responses back from employers, this is because I want to improve the app and help you guys as much as I can as I am a big fan.
I have also been part of the beta team for Team Seesmic and Blu App testing early builds and reporting bugs and they seem to have liked my feedback. Although like I've said my choice has always been Tweetdeck so to help you guys even more would be great.
Thanks for the time.
Stephen Robinson / @xstex
I am a TweetDeck user and use it MOST of the time. I would like to be a Champion as I want to contribute to the application and its developement in as many ways as possible. I also want to be a Champion because then I can really proudly shout out to all my friends to switch to TweetDeck and dump other useless clients like Seesmic. My twitter handle is rsrikanth05 .

I have TweetDeck installed on 2 computers (Windows 7/Windows Vista) and my iPhone. I use TweetDeck for Twitter and Facebook. I use it almost everyday. I would love to give feedback and improve TweetDeck. I am very good with computers, and I would love the chance to be apart of the team. I can give you feedback about TweetDeck for Windows along with the TweetDeck app for the iPhone
I can't wait for the next version of TweetDeck, and I am looking forward to giving you feedback.

Hi guys,
Haven't heard from you yet but I would like to inform you that my Twitter ID has changed from @WesBBaddict into @WesBerry
Hope to hear from you very soon!
Thanks!

This is Kirsten in Vail--I am thrilled and challenged on a daily basis to be on the cutting edge of emerging media. I am currently presenting the benefits of Tweetdeck on a corporate level from the best ski resort in the world (bias admitted)! So glad this fantastic tool exisits, and I'm really looking forward to spreading the word about Tweetdeck. Please let me know how I can help champion the cause!

Hi, im ben gillam and @bengillam on twitter, Im a heavy long time user of tweetdeck both on the desktop and on the iphone i have previous experience with beta testing desktop apps and iphone apps and games and have a knack for finding obscure bugs apparently!
would love to be a champion and give something back

Hi guys, no news from my previous post.
Can you tell us more about the process to become a champion please.
How long does it take, how many new champion will be ???

I am a Media and Communication graduate and I have been using Tweetdeck as part of my academic and social life. I have the app on the desktop and one the phone. I constantly find myself integrating technologies for a one stop all in one solution for all my information.

I am just a normal (slightly boring), stay at home mom with no experience testing any type of software, nor do I have a college degree that would imply that I know anything about computers. However, I believe I do represent the average user.
In my opinion, the average TweetDeck user is someone who utilizes TweetDeck to promote their blogs, tweet with friends, and update other social media sites. They are looking for a program that can do all of that for them and still be easy for them to use. When you have kids screaming in the background, hungry husbands and dogs that need to be walked, there is no time to spend hours trying to figure out a program that is supposed to make your life easier.
As a TweetDeck Champion, I can do several things for you:
I look forward to hearing from you

@melissamashburn

I use TweetDeck to manage the account for a movie theatre company in Michigan, as well as my personal account. I use it on three computers (work, home, laptop) and iPod Touch, each configured differently for different needs. I have come to rely on its speed and heavy customizability in its layout, arrangement, and shortening services. It allows me to monitor brand and product mentions as well as keep up to date with many aspects of my personal interests.
As a social networking enthusiast I would provide feedback on all the ins and outs of Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn integration; as a design enthusiast I would evaluate the placement of every pixel. Would love to be considered for this process.

I'd like to be a champion (again!) please!

Please count me in ;) Handle is @silvakreuz and I am working for one of the big 3 in the security (specifically AV) industry. I've been using TweetDeck since it was first released years ago, and I have influence the lot of my team to use it as their Twitter application on our desktops. This is my first time to participate in a software testing outside my company and I think this would be a good experience for me :) Glad to meet everyone here!

I remain *out* and conclude this Champion gig is mostly rubbish.
If you want Testing help, then provide a download suitable for testing. What are you asking for here? Proper genealogy to approve access to the high-ranking "private forum"? An adequate job description? A suitable "Big X" employer?? All a bunch of crap.
If you want Development help, then provide source. The Air SDK is available to me just as it is to you, right?
You have a market niche in *not* being hosted, but you toss it aside because of this elitist work-flow.

Well, re-reading my previous comment in the light of day, reveals to me that I was overly harsh, and for that I apologize. I realize you have the need for certain qualities, and this process works for you. I can't commit to being a Champion, but I want to do more to help with request #15805 that I opened. Again, I'm sorry for the negative tone - that was unnecessary.

I'd be happy to be a Champion. Honestly, I've only been amazed at some of things you've been able to add & Tweetdeck is always one of the first places I send people when they come to me to learn how to "do" social media. My TwID: @Geek8ive
Regardless - keep up the great work!!

I would like to be a Champion. I have been using a Mac since 1988, worked at various TV Stations as an artist-producer. I am very interested in Type and readability on the Web. It's my own selfish interest of poor eyesite, because of aging.

Hello TweetDeck Team,
TD has become an indistinguishable and inevitable part of all my computers. I am working with a Department of Mathematics and TD is the source of breaking news throughout the globe. Yes, I would like to do something if I can for bettering TD. While working with my Tablet, it is really difficult to use mouse and there seems no keyboard shortcut that take from the message compose box to the tweets after a message is typed and updated to Twitter. Hope to see a keyboard shortcut for this soon.
Love from @dineshjk on twitter and >dineshjk on FaceBook.

Tweetdeck is the first communcations tool i use in the morning, and the last one i use each night. @willisetech, provide presentations on our "Social Media Circle" strategy, set up client SM accounts, and tutor clients using your great software.
I'd be happy to become a Champion if you feel this would be a good fit.
Cheers,
John
