Install the old version of Tweetdeck (0.38.2)

I have tried the newer versions of Tweetdeck (now owned by Twitter themselves) and I just do not like the look and feel of it. I would much rather have the old look back but unfortunately there’s no “Revert to Classic Tweetdeck” option. I also tried Seesmic Desktop 2 and could not find myself liking that one either. I mean, come on, what good is a Twitter client without a “Reply” option?
I found the original version of Tweetdeck before Twitter ruined it (version 0.38.2) and am making it available to anyone else who may feel the same way as I do.

You will also need Adobe Air if you do not have it installed:

Enjoy.

You are the man!!! I kept getting “unable to connect” errors with the *NEW* TweetDeck app, which was totally ticking me off. This post saved me tons of trouble. Thanks!

Wow, man, thanks a lot!
You know, I was just at Paul Tobey seminar where he discussed the sad fact that TweetDeck was bought out by Twitter and then turned into a pile of mush. He is Canada’s top Internet Marketing & Social Media trainer, and he uses and recommends we all use the OLD version of TweetDeck that you ever-so conveniently have. 🙂
I admit to never understanding why successful companies buy out products that were very useful in working with their platform (and others) and then proceed to butcher them. Why pay money for something if you’re going to ruin it?
Maybe someone can explain here the marketing or business logic. I do not understand it. However, I guess that is not important for today. What is important is that this old version of TweetDeck is available.
Long may it live!
Thanks for this valuable service, and I hope this page stays up on Google for a long, long time.

Thanks! I like this version because you send your tweet to all your accounts in once!

Hi,
So happy to see this post. I had uninstalled the old version to install the new version. Then realized how useless the new version is. However, I am unable to download from this link. When I extract files, there is no ‘install’ folder. I am not very technical but I did show it to our IT technician. I understand that you had posted this in March last year, is it still good?
Appreciate your help,
Rukhsana

Rukhsana,
Tweetdeck (this version) is an Adobe Air application and Air will need to be installed first. Download link is included in the article.
