In many ways, doubling down on the TweetDeck web experience and discontinuing our app support is a reflection of where our TweetDeck power-users are going. Over the past few years, we've seen a steady trend towards people using TweetDeck on their computers and Twitter on their mobile devices. This trend coincides with an increased investment in Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android -- adding photo filters and other editing capabilities, revamping user profiles and enhancing search. That said, we know this applies to most of our users -- not all of them. And for those of you who are inconvenienced by this shift, our sincere apologies.
You geeks catch that? The popular TweetDeck app for Android devices is going the way of the dodo. Thanks to many of the draconian and developer unfriendly measures Twitter is taking (to force us to use their official app) the mobile app will lose support. It’s not just TweetDeck Android but also TweetDeck Air and the iPhone app as well.
Power users who sit on the computer will still be able to use the web interface for TweetDeck, it’s just us mobile users getting the shaft.
