Hi Kat. I'd recommend If This, Then That (http://ifttt.com). It allows you to connect various 'channels' like Facebook and Twitter together, so that doing something on channel A causes something to happen on channel B. It's trivial to set up a recipe that automatically tweets any new Facebook posts, for example. But the Twitter channel has no triggers, so you can't post to Facebook whenever you tweet. I assume this is down to Twitter's API. You can work around this by using an RSS feed of your Twitter account as a trigger - but, of course, the further down this path you go, the further it takes you from Tweetdeck's simplicity.
At any rate, I'd recommend giving IFTTT a try - depending on your needs, it might work very well for you. It also goes way, way beyond simply replicating social media posts - I've used it to add new items from our research repository to Google Calendar, for example, giving me an automatic monthly overview and archive of activity. There are thousands of existing recipes you can use straight away, and the community is a constant source of innovative uses.

Subject: Tweetdeck to discontinue Facebook integration
I was disappointed to discover that Tweetdeck have decided to discontinue their integration with Facebook, as I've always found it really easy to use, and that it requires the minimum effort to update a fairly underused Facebook page.

I just wondered which tools other people were using for managing multiple Twitter/Facebook accounts simultaneously- I know there are a few but recommendations would be good!
Thanks all
