Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Microblogging platform Twitter announced that it had acquired third-party Twitter client TweetDeck, a service Twitter describes as "a groundbreaking dashboard for monitoring what people are saying in real-time."
TweetDeck is one of the most widely-used Twitter clients. It is tailored for "power users" who want more control over their real-time conversations and the ability to track their online interactions.
"The mainstream Twitter user-base is well catered for by twitter.com and the official mobile clients," explained TweetDeck founder and CEO Iain Dodsworth in a May 25 blog post.
Members of TweetDeck's core audience, on the other hand, are "the most active, influential and valuable users of Twitter and social media in general," said Dodsworth explaining the reasons why Twitter acquired TweetDeck.
"[B]y becoming part of the official platform, TweetDeck will now fill that role for brands, influencers, the highly active and anyone that just needs 'more power'."
TweetDeck is currently available as a desktop application for Apple, Windows, and Linux platforms. The company has also released applications for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, plus web and Chrome apps.
In 2010 Twitter acquired Tweetie - a company responsible for creating the leading third party Twitter client for the iPhone and Mac operating system - and turned it into Twitter’s official mobile app.
