(There's a small but easy trick for doing that one...it involves creating a symbolic link. Plenty of easy tutorials online.) Another great tool is Google Quick Search Box. I used to use Quicksilver as an application launcher (and more,) but have since switched to Google Quick Search Box. The developer of Quicksilver now works for Google and is developing GQSB. Think of it as the new Quicksilver. Finally - regarding Tweetdeck. I used it for a while, and I liked it...but it has such a HUGE memory footprint. It's a real hog. I've switched to Tweetie, and love it. It doesn't have the groups, but so far it's been fine without. I have two accounts, so that helps filter things by work/personal as it is.
