Getting the Most Out of Twitter and LeBron James


Let's say you are watching the Eastern Conference Play Offs....

You can use Tweet Deck and the filter tool to get just the info you want to see about LeBron James.

1. Go to www.tweetdeck.com to download.

2. If you love LeBron, set up a LeBron Filter. Go to the bottom of a column and click on the icon that looks like a little arrow pointing down. Whatever column is on the far left (usually your “All Friends” feed) will have this icon 1st on the left, all other columns will have it 2nd on the left. Click the “Filter This Column” icon and you will be presented with a few choices. First, make sure that your filter type is set to “Text”. Then type in the word that you want to see... #LeBron.

3. If you are tired of seeing LeBron (very unlikely), you can use the reverse play. Maybe you don’t want to see tweets that are talking about LeBron James. Leave LeBron's name in the filter but change the plus sign to a minus sign.

Pretty nifty.

Go Cavs!
