Switching from TweetDeck to HootSuite

I have used TweetDeck for a long time, almost ever since I started on Twitter. Now that I use an iPhone, I use Tweetie (which I find incredibly useful). I had been using HootSuite for a long time for my pre-scheduled tweets, but the whole columns thing (and the stand-alone feature of TD as an AIR application) was something I really enjoyed of TweetDeck. Lately, I have found it so clunky (TD) that I decided to go back to HootSuite, this time pretty much for good.

There’s one thing that sort of will make me miss TweetDeck, not only the fact that it’s a standalone application, but also the fact that now, people will not be able to recognize when I’m prescheduling a tweet and when I’m really online. I find that at least, if people knew that my tweet came from TweetDeck, they would figure I’m online, and if it came from HootSuite they would know it was prescheduled. Now there’s no differentiation. Not sure if it is good or bad, but it just is.
