Need Twitter Help!

Even though my knowledge is vast on many subjects, I am new to twitter and need to know how to communicate on it? I mean, how do I get in contact with someone during live feeds? Through DM isn't Live. I need Live action.

Someone in another thread mentioned TweetDeck. I installed it and was bombarded with alerts every second, and literally unusable due to amount of followers I guess. Why is tweetDeck so popular if its a pain to communicate with it if we have many followers continually bombarding us constantly?

    Here are three tips that may help with your tweet stream on Tweetdeck alcymart.

    Pause a column
    You can pause the updates in a column by scrolling down in the column so the top update is not visible. This will cause updates to queue up while you read your updates in the column. To allow the updates to continue again, just scroll back up to the top.

    Batch your notifications
    Under Settings > Notifications there is a setting which allows you to specify "Show notifications at most every x seconds". Increasing this number from 1 will batch the notifications you receive so you do not have constant popups and sounds.

    Disable realtime streams altogether
    If you really don't want to have your streams in real-time at all, simple uncheck "Enable realtime Twitter streams" under Settings > Twitter and click Save. This will revert you back to the old polling method.
    To reinstate real-time streams, just check the box and hit Save.


    Hope this helps.

    You are welcome, I had to make adjustments to mine because that fast tweet feed was extremely annoying
