Redone

Have redone it with some more sources. If there is other stuff wrong, please tell me before you delete it so I can try & change it! Thanks dottydotdot (talk) 10:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also can someone make the title have a capital D so it's TweetDeck? dottydotdot (talk) 11:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done Greggers ^{(t • c)} 11:32, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone who knows about this product please go through the box and make sure its factually correct. Cheers. Greggers ^{(t • c)} 11:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

The logo is on the Tweetdeck website here: [1] but are we allowed to use it? & how do you do it? dottydotdot (talk) 15:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ta-dah! Thanks for the link. Greggers ^{(t • c)} 15:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3rd party services

The article mentions 3rd party services like twitscoop, stocktwits etc. Maybe it would be useful to create the corresponding wikipedia pages ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.140.114.176 (talk) 21:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Only if they're notable enough. Never create articles for the sake of it or because they appear somewhere else. But if the subject deserves it (ie is notable, verifiable etc) then an article will undoubtedly appear by its own accord. Greg Tyler ^{(t • c)} 08:56, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

iPhone OS?

I added that it's now on the iPhone OS, but someone please add then into the article? [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Undertakerhbk588 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not working on Vista?

I saw this in the article, near UserVoice: "although the program itself is virtually undownloadable by Vista users." First of all UserVoice is web-based and can therefore not be downloaded, and TweetDeck works fine on Vista. I was afraid to get it out though, since this was added quite some edits ago. Thoughts? arienh4^(Talk) 21:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Doubts arise every time a new release of Windows comes (should be Win7 now, I suppose), heck, even for Ubuntu. It's safe to ignore such "news" especially when they are short on details. bjfs _discuss 12:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Purchase price

“On May 25, 2011, TweetDeck was bought by Twitter with a rumored $40 – $50 million purchase price including both cash and Twitter stock.”

What does that mean, “including both cash and Twitter stock”? --Adam Brody (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some cash, plus some shares in the company (i.e. Twitter). Sometimes companies use their shares to pay for assets they purchase. Maksym Kozub (talk) 08:54, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Version number

What is the deal with version-numbers of the products? 1.5.3 is new? 0.38.3 is new? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.121.137.114 (talk) 12:11, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TweetDeck or Tweetdeck

Original name was TweetDeck, but there are times when Tweetdeck (without CAP D) is used. Someone should clarify the difference or edit out the misteak. Bellagio99 (talk) 03:19, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of "deck" in name

Mention exactly which of Deck (disambiguation) the name comes from. I.e., deck (cards), or cockpit or observation deck... Jidanni (talk) 20:50, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to X Pro?

I guess such a move would be reasonable since, it has been renamed. Oğuzlar 12:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will move/redirect to X Pro. Onyxqk (talk) 21:09, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TweetDeck → X Pro – This was requested by another user on the TweetDeck article talk page, because the service has been renamed to X Pro. The page 'X Pro' already exists as a redirect to TweetDeck and so would need to be deleted before this move can take place. Onyxqk (talk) 21:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Onyxqk (talk) 22:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, because who the hell calls this X Pro? Plus, these are most definitely two different products. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 01:50, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like over the past twelve months "X Pro" is significantly more searched than "TweetDeck" on Google, although am aware that relative popularity on Google searches does not justify a name change in itself: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F05q7b3y,X%20Pro&hl=en

The most recent news article was able to find refers to the product as "X Pro" although it explains that the product was formerly called TweetDeck: https://techcrunch.com/2023/08/15/x-formerly-twitter-makes-x-pro-formerly-tweetdeck-a-subscriber-only-product/ Onyxqk (talk) 02:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Over the past 12 months, but did you consider over the past 12 years? LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 02:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like X Pro, without quotation marks to narrow it down, was always a more popular search than TweetDeck prior to either TweetDeck or X Pro the product existing: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F05q7b3y,X%20Pro&hl=en

Since that's not a valid comparison, narrowed the comparison by adding quotation marks around the term "X Pro": https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F05q7b3y,%22X%20Pro%22&hl=en

When that is done, TweetDeck initially is the more popular term, but X Pro overtakes it in the past couple years. That seems to indicate usage has shifted from searching for TweetDeck to searching for X Pro. Onyxqk (talk) 02:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Except 'x pro' over took 'tweet deck' five years before tweetdeck got re-branded to x pro something else is going on here —blindlynx 14:36, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close This should be determined by the outcome of the current RM regarding the parent article. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
