I have been using tweetdeck for a while but have a few issues with it:

  • I can’t do a keyword search across my twitter feeds so if I want to find a tweet from several days ago I am out of luck.
  • If I clear the tweets I have read I can’t then see how to get them back (but conversely they seem to re-appear when I restart)
  • There are several people who I follow but who also show up in a twitter list I follow (@nancybaym/internetresearchers). I would like their posts to be set to “read” when I read them in another column.
  • I would like to be able to say “mark this and all previous tweets as read” so I don’t have to read all the way to the “top” of my tweets before I mark them all read.

Surely these are not un-feasable features? Does anyone know a decent twitter client which can deliver on some or all of these?
