TweetDeck is an alternative Twitter platform belonging to the social network that offers several features, such as accessing multiple timelines in columns and scheduling tweets. After 10 years without any significant updates, Twitter has confirmed that it is finally working on a “major overhaul” of TweetDeck.
The update was confirmed by Twitter product director Kayvon Beykpour in an interview with The Verge published on Tuesday. According to Beykpour, Twitter recognizes that TweetDeck has not received “much love recently”, but that is about to change.
As the company is working on new ways to improve the social network for advanced users, TweetDeck will receive a redesign soon. The product director at Twitter did not give details on exactly what changes the team is working on for TweetDeck, but Beykpour suggested that the platform would be rebuilt “from scratch”.
And we haven’t been giving much love to TweetDeck recently. This is about to change; we’ve been working on a major redesign of TweetDeck, and it’s something we’re looking forward to sharing publicly this year. And this is just an example of a service owned and operated by Twitter in which we will continue to invest.
There is no specific date set for the launch of the new TweetDeck, except for a confirmation that it will be launched “later this year”. TweetDeck was launched in 2008 and was also one of the most popular third-party Twitter clients, available for a variety of platforms, including iOS and macOS. The platform was acquired by Twitter in 2011 and is now available only as a network and the macOS app.
ONE Bloomberg Last month’s report revealed that Twitter is considering adopting a subscription model for TweetDeck in the future. At the moment, the application is free and available to everyone.
