This, of course, is not TweetDeck’s fault, though you might want to keep this in mind when you are using TweetDeck to track a breaking news story. Throws an exception if the value is invalid, and the default download path is not changed. The value should be an absolute path to a folder that the user and application can write to. The default download folder path is persisted in the user data folder across sessions. Sometimes, when you add a search very popular topic that creates more than a few updates per second, Twitter will also throttle your updates. The default value is the system default download folder path for the user.

Finally: Twitter in Real TimeĪ lot of us here at ReadWriteWeb have been testing the preview version of TweetDeck and the only major limitation we have discovered so far is the fact that user lists in TweetDeck don’t update in real time and still use the old polling mechanism. Instead of regularly contacting Twitter for updates, Twitter now immediately pushes updates directly to your desktop.

Thanks to this update, direct messages and searches now appear in real time, without the need for TweetDeck to poll Twitter’s servers at a regular interval.

A few weeks ago, TweetDeck launched a limited beta of its Twitter client with support for Twitter’s new User Streams Preview API and today, the company is opening up this beta to all.
