If you are a social media manager or a hardcore Twitter user, I’m sure you have used TweetDeck to manage your Twitter account(s) online. Although it was initially an independent app, Twitter acquired it subsequently and released a redesigned TweetDeck website last year. Now, the microblogging giant is looking to earn money via the tool as it aims to make TweetDeck a paid feature for users. Let’s dig into the details below.
According to a recent report by The Verge, citing reputable reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter might soon integrate its TweetDeck platform into its paid subscription service Twitter Blue. Wong, earlier this month, discovered a work-in-progress TweetDeck sign-up page that led non-Blue Twitter users to the Twitter Blue sign-up page when they tried to access TweetDeck. You can check out her latest tweet right below.
Twitter is filling in the new @TweetDeck signup page that they’re working on. Two new highlights:1. A link for “the legacy version of TweetDeck” (even though it might be deprecated at some point in the future)2. “Ad-free experience” being marketed as the selling point 😛 https://t.co/XP6sYsTUGM pic.twitter.com/fRc0ujZ7o2— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 30, 2022
Wong also notes that Twitter is completely rebuilding the platform with the “parts from the new Twitter web app.” However, she also spotted a link for the legacy version, which could be available for free, though, it could be discontinued in the future.
