BUYS TWEETDECK FOR $40m
Twitter
has bought TweetDeck, a London-based start up that helps people read, write and
organize the short messages posted on the online network and will keep the
service going. Twitter is not giving financial terms, though published reports
have pegged the price at round $40 million to $50 million. The San Francisco
Company said in a blog post last week that the TweetDeck team of 15 has joined
Twitter.
TweetDeck
will continue to be based in London and its users, many of whom are Twitter’s
so-called ‘power-users’, will continue to be able to use the application.
