Tweek was integrated with Myspace, Google Buzz.TweetDeck has become a very strong rival to other social networking service, especially for Twitter. Unlike other social networking service, Twitter overly depends on the thrd-party’s platform or application, such as Facebook’s gallary, yFrog, YouTube and TweetDeck, to fulfill its incomplete function. Even though Twitter core app is pretty functional and it’s easy for you to follow your friend, it didn’t show a strong performance on organizing large amounts of feeds, or providing a clear and concise time-based overview. It’s not going to be possible for use to follow a conversation line from thousands of tweets and retweets. However, TweetDeck’s appearance changes everything by using its powerful one-stop social networking service and organization ablility.
It could be said that TweetDeck was actually a threat to Twitter, as 13 percent of tweets are sent from TweetDeck, it has realized that they could not lose such a large percentage of their userbase, therefore Twitter must acquire TweetDeck, in case one day the application become more powerful, to acquire Twitter. In another hand, to acquire TweetDeck can make Twitter more functional, it will has its own application to provde service, not to depend on the third party’s. Except TweetDeck, Twitter should really think about to acquire yFrog as well.
