Completely quixotic. Twitter wants to own the client experience and as owner of the platform, they have the power to do so.
Twitter's now-infamous developer group post also listed a number of areas Twitter doesn't want to own. Reading between the lines, they're giving client companies the opportunity to transition to another line of business. If the client companies don't take the hint, Twitter's going to eventually play hardball.
- chris_j 16y agoWhy doesn't Twitter buy TweetDeck? TweetDeck appears to be a better user experience than anything that Twitter have come up with themselves so far. If Twitter does want to own the client experience on their platform then what better way of doing so?

- ig1 16y agoApparently they haven't, one of the panelist (from Tweetdeck) at Geeknrolla said he couldn't talk about any takeover speculation, which implies that it might not have gone through.
