The American directors of Twitter have been sent a letter by Companies House (the United Kingdom Registrar of Companies) warning them that their UK subsidiary, TweetDeck is at risk of closure.

The letter, dated January 22, states: "The Registrar of Companies gives notice that, unless cause is shown to the contrary, at the expiration of 3 months from the above date the name of TweetDeck Ltd will be struck off the register and the company will be dissolved."

Could this spell the end of this popular Twitter app? ...or more likely, will Twitter just move its TweetDeck operations outside of the UK?

Tweetdeck became awful when Twitter bought them imo but to see them close would be quite sad

What's wrong with Tweet deck? I ask I have recently been getting more in to Twitter and find it so much better than using the Twitter website, especially for multiple accounts.

Maybe there is something out there with better features?

There isn't, and that's the problem. Ever since they have been bought by Twitter, their Android app hasn't been updated since September 2011 and some of the features in it are broken. I would to see them integrate Path or Pinterest or maybe even Fancy, but for now it's dead :/ .

The old desktop client was/is much better. I still use it.

Seriously ****ed that they stopped supporting it.

I have used tweetdeck for a very long time now, and i have to say i have tried many other alternatives and even posted here asking if anyone knew of a good alternative and never found anything that had the feature set i was looking for other than tweetdeck. However, the biggest problem as already stated in this thread is that once twitter bought it the app simply died. They removed some functionality right out of the gate and then never really updated it again. there are a lot of features that are simply broken for both the pc and mobile versions of the software and it does not look as though they care enough to repair them

TL;DR Love the App, App is broken, Twitter does not care.

The way they changed it ruined it, the old version as someone else has said was much better but of course they sold to Twitter and I can't blame them for that. As for alternatives there really isn't any with maybe Metrotwit being the nearest to being usable.

One of my biggest frustrations is that the desktop TweetDeck app doesn't allow you to add a "Trends" column - yes, you can add a column for any particular trending topic, but you can't add a "Trends" column itself! :(

Yeah, but is that an old version of TweetDeck (i.e. before it was taken over by Twitter) - the latest versions of the TweetDeck desktop client v2.1.0 don't have this functionality any more! :(

Yeah the new version doesn't have it

Screw the new version. It sucks. Old version still works fine.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
