My HootSuite Dashboard I’ve been a loyal user of TweetDeck for years (first the desktop version, then the Chrome version), but I finally pulled the plug today.

(I’m a member of the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board, and am receiving complimentary treatment.) No matter how much of a crush I have on Rachel Maddow, I can [...]
