TweetDeck is a social media dashboard application for management of Twitter accounts.
Like other Twitter applications it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and view profiles. It was the most popular Twitter application with a 23% market share as of June 2010, following only the official Twitter website with 45.7% share for posting new status updates.
It can be used as a web app, or a Chrome app.
TweetDeck consists of a series of customisable columns, which can be set up to display the user's Twitter timeline, mentions, direct messages, lists, trends, favorites, search results, hashtags, or all tweets by or to a single user. The client uses Twitter's own automatic and invisible URL shortening whereby a link of any length will only use 23 characters of a Tweet's 140-character limit. All columns can be filtered to include or exclude words or tweets from users. Tweets can be sent immediately or scheduled for later delivery.
Users can monitor and tweet from multiple accounts simultaneously. For added account security, users signing in with their Twitter username and password can use Twitter's own two-step verification, known to Twitter users as Login Verification.
As of May 2015, TweetDeck added a “confirmation step” feature giving users the option to require an extra step before sending a tweet.
July 4, 2008 – first version of TweetDeck, originally an independent Twitter app by Iain Dodsworth, was released.
June 19, 2009 – iPhone version released
May 2010 – iPad version released
October 2010 – Android version made available after a public beta period.
May 25, 2011 – Twitter acquired TweetDeck
September 15, 2011 – TweetDeck tweeted that new updates for all of its versions would be released and that "As part of the process of making TweetDeck more consistent with Twitter.com & Twitter's mobile apps, we're removing deck.ly from our apps." Many users expressed their anger at this feature removal in the comments on the iOS and Android Market. Deck.ly previously allowed users to post tweets in excess of 140 characters.
