TweetDeck under the wings of Twitter

According to CCN and CNET sources, Twitter would have bought TweetDeck, leader in the third-party applications category, for more than 40 million dollars. However, the agreement still lacks the official seal. Reserved for Twitter's public relations staff: "Let's continue with not commenting on the gossip", they declare. Betaworks, one of TweetDeck's biggest investors, also prefers not to comment. No announcements on the official blog. But other sites, such as TechCruch, confirm the operation. TweetDeck, available for smartphones, PCs and browsers to follow friends on Twitter, post messages and photos, has exceeded 20 million users worldwide. Rumors of a possible acquisition have been heating up the web since February, when it seemed that the application could be acquired by Uber Media (which already owns several Twitter clients), for a price between 25 and 30 million dollars. Apparently the San Francisco start-up would have relaunched the offer, definitively winning the yes of the main multiplatform client. The chirping Social Network, also landed in Russia and Turkey with its 200 million users, took the opportunity to trip up the competition, further improving its service. New notification emails of retweets and favorite tweets from your followers are coming soon. Discord opinion makers. Some approve of check. According to others it would be a defensive move against rival UberMedia.
