Twitter Looking to Acquire Tweetdeck

Apr 18, 2011, 3:38 PM by Eric M. Zeman

According to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal, Twitter is in advanced talks to purchase Tweetdeck for about $50 million. Tweetdeck makes software clients that access and use Twitter, Facebook and other feeds both on desktop computers and mobile devices, such as smartphones. Tweetdeck is available to the iOS and Android platforms, for example. It is unclear how Twitter might use Tweetdeck. Twitter bought the Apple desktop client Tweetie, and eventually relaunched it as Twitter. It did something similar for the official iPhone application. Twitter has been consolidating the look and functionality of the Twitter client across mobile platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry), and recently asked developers to stop creating new stand-alone Twitter clients. Neither Twitter nor Tweetdeck have confirmed the Journal's story.

Please don't........

I thoroughly enjoy both Tweetdeck's Desktop Application and their Android application. I really don't want to see Twitter **** it all up with what ever design philosophy they have.

There's a reason it's so popular.
