I'm reminded of Alister Croll's article that "Twitter is a protocol, not a site" http://www.bitcurrent.com/twitters-not-a-site-its-a-protocol/ http://www.bitcurrent.com/twitters-not-a-site-its-a-protocol... There is no reason why Tweetdeck couldn't co-exist with Twitter's main clients. Twitter power users are the ones who tweet the most and innovate the most. Think of RT, # tags, pictures. Having a bleeding edge product keeps the power users happy without alienating the existing users by moving their cheese all the time.

Problem is, Twitter don't see twitter as a protocol.

  I bet that a lot of the internal discussion and hesitance within Twitter over the past couple of years has been around this very topic. It seems that the product guys won the argument over the platform guys. The problem now is that a large part of the reason why the product was successful is because of the platform and the dev ecosystem
