Tweetdeck had enough users before Twitter bought them that they could have started a competing service. And due to the loose nature of Twitter's social graph, it may have been just as useful to the users. I think that sent a scare through the company on the dangers of not being the touch point with the company.
- 001sky 14y agoJust hit google real quick, and found this headline on that Twitter Buys TweetDeck For $40 Million | TechCrunch I think you're probably right in terms of the mental framing...but, back of the envelope, 10x tweetdecks = 400m = 6% equity stake in Twitter $7B. Its not a bad biz model. Twitter has 2x orders of magnitude more mkt value. They should put that to work.[1] [1] Or they dont, and/or cant issue shares anywhere near that price after the FB ipo collapse.
