Synchronizing Twitter Clients Across Multiple Desktops

This is a huge inconvenience - Twitter clients such as Tweetdeck should maintain configuration settings in the cloud.

This problem is significant - you setup your Twitter client on your Mac, define groups, filters, and lots of business intelligence in a manner that provides productivity. But over on your PC, you must repeat this process; what a pain!

I finally found a way to overcome this issue using DropBox and some clever file synching. Don't jump for joy just yet, this is stilla kludge - Twitter client vendors should endear their customers by providing web services that eliminate the need for semi-complex kludges.

Take a read - Christian Mohn provides the details to this solution.

	... but the thing that bugged me most was that currently there is no real easy way to keep your groups and other settings synchronized between different installs on different computers. Maintaining your user groups etc. on a computer by computer basis just isn't fun.
