Twitter buys TweetDeck


The speculation is over. Twitter has finally bought the firm behind the API, an interesting Twitter client for various platforms. The business value is around 40 to 50 million dollars, says the CNN Money website. None of the companies involved commented on the issue until now.


With the purchase of API, there are growing expectations for a bid that Twitter microblog official application for Windows. Long time customer service offers an official within the Mac OS X, but nothing to repeat it in the windows system. As in the case of TweetDeck, the Twitter for Mac only became feasible after the Twitter application TweetDeck Inc. bought.

What would you like to see a Twitter application for Windows? In general, I only do one request: that does not depend on Adobe Air technology, which is traditionally slow and buggy (at least in my case). The ideal for me is something native in Windows, without relying on frameworks and the like.

According to CNN Money, the deal will involve cash and stock swap between the two companies.
