I was able to successfully install Tweetdeck and Adobe Air using the instructions here: http://www.technixupdate.com/install-tweetdeck-on-ubuntu-linux/
BUT after I closed the program, when I tried to re-open it, it wouldn't load anymore. It would show that it is "Starting Tweetdeck" but it would not lead to anything - it would just close.
So I tried to uninstall everything and re-install from scratch. But the same thing happened - the program would not load.
I tried to isolate the issue by trying to install another AIR application. When I double-click on the icon or click on install using Adobe AIR, it would not run. So that only means that the issue is with Adobe AIR.
Here's what I did:
Uninstall Tweetdeck.
Download the Adobe Air 2 Runtime Release Candidate here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html
(I downloaded the .bin one. Filename: air2_rc1_runtime_lin_051110.bin)
Install air2_rc1_runtime_lin_051110.bin by entering the following commands in the Terminal:
chmod +x air2_rc1_runtime_lin_051110.bin
sudo ./air2_rc1_runtime_lin_051110.bin (It will ask for your password.)
It will then load the installer. Go through the step-by-step process until it's finished.
Install Tweetdeck again (Just double-click on its .air file).
And there you have it. :)
