YAML.load("--- \nreview_comment: |\n \r\n I used Shared Minds for about five minutes earlier today and promptly jettisoned TweetDeck. \r\n \r\n \r\n I really like how fast Shared Minds is. The navigation panel is tidy and easy to handle - it isn't a deficit to lose the multiple columns of TweetDeck when this is how you move between the various tweet streams. The choice of default, column view, or list for displaying tweets is very powerful - much better to have a scrollable list of 150 tweets, one per line, than the too narrow TweetDeck columns. The search function provides graphical access to the query options - it's the best I've seen for that sort of work. So far I'm deeply unimpressed by the preview pane, which is used to view the details of an account, but it's not a common thing for me to use and like everything else in Shared Minds it's very simple to recover the screen space by dismissing it. \r\n \r\n Having used it for all of twelve hours these are things that either the program could do better, or that I've not caught on to how to handle.\r\n \r\n 1. How do I make a new list? It's not in the 'add a user to a list' popup, which is in the right place and very slick to use for pre-existing lists.\r\n \r\n 2. How do I see another user's lists? And then follow them?\r\n \r\n 3. Is there help for the filter option? The way it's positioned makes me suspect it's very powerful, but I'm at a loss for what to do with it.\r\n \r\n \r\n This program feels not quite finished, and even so it kicks the competition all over the Twitterverse. Give it a try and you'll likely stick to it.\r\n \r\n\n")
