The dashboard has a left sidebar that services as the menu column, and then the main column that displays your tweets. There is a box for posting new tweets at the very top of the page. When posting a new tweet, long URL are automatically shortened and, when reading new tweets short URLs are automatically expanded.
There is also the ability to preview images inline and a thumbnail image of videos inline. You can then click on the image to view the larger image or actual video in a new tab. tDash even lets you upload images (from your computer) and share them on Twitter.
Another nice feature is the ability to group tweets by sender, as opposed to viewing tweets from all your friends at once. If there are new tweets from a user, you’ll see their name in the left sidebar along with how many new tweets are from them. You can click on each one to view just tweets from that user. Tweets from that user’s “folder” can also be marked as read, which will remove the notification of new tweets from them on the sidebar.
Of course, on each tweet you can perform regular tweet functions such as replying, adding to favorites and retweeting. This is done by simply clicking on the tweet that you want to interact with. There is also a keyboard shortcut that lets you use the spacebar to jump from one tweet to the next unread tweet or folder.
While tDash is a work in progress, it definitely offers a clean, simple and unique interface that is sure to satisfy most users. You can also access your Twitter lists, mentions, DMs and favorites all from the sidebar. As a matter of fact, you can even see the number of unread tweets you have in each area (friends, lists, folders) and then mark each section as read.
