Does it do multiple columns, too? With TweetDeck I tend to have lots of columns - all tweets, only best friends, dms, facebook and a running search. Would like to get rid of TweetDeck because it is the only Air application I still have.

Doesn't do columns, but does do multiple tabs. I was reluctant to switch to tabs from columns too, but it's my preferred Mac client now.

Also supports a "mini" tweet view which makes it work more like an email client. http://yfrog.com/oerabxhp

I am beginning to see some advantages. Still struggling with search (is there no "or" operator?), but I'll try it out for a while.

Have you tried uppercase 'OR'? I found that worked.

It works in the normal search, but I want an extra tab that shows the results of a fixed search. Couldn't get that to work yet.

TweetDeck is now a Chrome-hosted app. I haven't missed any feature changes between it and the old AIR app.

Interesting, never heard about that. So I suppose I can install it from the Chrome app store and remove the air version?

You can also get TweetDeck via the Mac App Store. Not as full featured as the old AIR one though
