As a follow-up, the pop-up typedown for contacts works pretty good, but I would like it to be a bit more inline.

This one feature has made quite a bit of difference to me so I've gone back to tweetdeck...however, today I noticed that a search in tweetdeck is a little too hard to do...

Hi Shawn, thanks for the welcome! You're right...

Hi Shawn, thanks for the welcome! You're right, a blog post is certainly a whole lot easier than doing this via 140 characters :)

Your TweetDecjk wishes are all very valid and I'll take them one at a time because i think we have pretty good news on most of them.

1. "An easy way to insert an @contact from list of friends"

If you enable "Use Autocomplete for usernames" under Settings > General, you will actually get this. We hope to improve it in a future release to be a slicker, inline popup, but at least for now it does the job.

2. "In-line image display from twitpic, yfrog, etc"

v0.35 will be changing the way we display tweets and inline image preview are certainly something we're looking at including there if we can.

3. "Facebook status updates are weird..."

Yes, sadly the Facebook API makes it slightly awkward for us. If your status is just plain text, it should always set your status message. If it contains any links or attachments it will get "posted" to your wall instead.

4. "Combine multiple accounts into a single stream"

This is something we are considering as part of a longer-term review of TweetDeck functionality, so watch this space...

5. "Conversations should be easier to view…"

Again, this is something that v0.35 should improve on greatly.

6. "Automatic typedowns for contacts and hashtags."

Yep, totally agree and we hope to have these in a release very soon.

I hope this gives you an indication of the direction we are taking TweetDeck and that this will mean you keep coming back to check us out.

If you ever have any other ideas or questions, don't hesitate to let me know!
