TweetDeck has been my favorite Twitter client for a while. I was astonished to find recently, when setting up a new Twitter profile for a project I'm working on, that there is no way to manage multiple Twitter profiles using TweetDeck. There have been many requests, but no solution...
... until now!
MultiTweetDeck is a small tool I wrote (using the fantastic AutoIt). It lets you create and switch between multiple profiles on your TweetDeck installation (no simultaneous sessions though, I'm afraid).
Please note that this is still alpha quality, fresh from the oven - so use with care! Feel free to leave a comment or Tweet me @guyro about any problems you encounter. I hope the TweetDeck team will eventually add support for multiple profiles and make this tool obsolete. Until then -
Update: v0.20 now customizes the title of the TweetDeck version with the profile name.
What are people saying about MultiTweetDeck?
Cool, I'll give it a try.

Is it only for PCs? Or Mac also? I'm excited at the prospect & downloaded but doesn't seem Mac friendly. Or is it just me?

Lee - currently it's Windows only, I'm afraid!

Downloaded 2.0, but it says "Could not find TweetDeck installation"

@Anton - where do you have TweetDeck installed? Currently it assumes C:\Program Files\TweetDeck. Do you have it elsewhere?

Yes, I have it on L:\Program Files\Tweetdeck C has too little space for more proggies.

Am I missing something here? To switch back and forth between profiles you have to log out of tweet deck and open multitweetdeck each time??

@Miss Britt - you're not missing anything, indeed there are no simultaneous sessions supported.

I would love you forever if you made a Mac version.
