Tweetdeck on 64bit Ubuntu linux

Google Fodder: Though Tweetdeck installs and runs fine on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux, on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux a few more steps are required to get 32-bit Tweetdeck to install and be a happy chappy.

The (easy) steps to follow are here: Easy TweetDeck in Ubuntu 64 bit

It took me about 5 minutes to execute these instructions and get Tweetdeck up and running.

Proof! :-) See the screenshot of Tweetdeck on my 64-bit Ubuntu Linux desktop. Click the image to see a 1024x819 version.
