A Twitter Sideline

Yahoo have just released a new piece of software today, called SideLine,  that bears a striking resembelance to TweetDeck.  The offical site description reads like this:

Sideline is an Adobe® AIR™ desktop application built with the Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI). It allows users to create and group custom queries by topics of interest.

Sideline is an open source application released under the BSD license. The first beta release is out and the code is hosted on github. If you experience difficulties with the Flash “Install” badge on this site you can find the manual download here.

Without further delay I’m going to download it and give it a spin, will let you know what I think of it soon.

        I like it as an app, but the jurys still out at the moment on the advantages of using it instead of TweetDeck, not sure if it does enough to make it “worthwhile” to be honest, not with so many other options available. That being said, I dont want to commit to soon, but dont let that stop you grabbing it and seeing how it may work for you! Have you used it yourself Dawn?
