Tweetdeck Removes Facebook Functionality.


Question

In a bold move which in my personal opinion makes the software nearly useless Twitter has officially removed Facebook Functionality from Tweetdeck today.

With a bold Blue Bar at the top of the screen stating that their Facebook support will end of May 7th , 2013. That day has finally come. They have also dissolved the use of their Adobe Air and Mobile apps for Android and iOS, leaving only the Web and Chrome app versions of their software available.

TweetDeck AIR, TweetDeck for Android and TweetDeck for iPhone will be removed from their respective app stores and will stop functioning on May 7. Our Facebook integration will also stop on May 7.

I thought that was the whole point of TweetDeck? One app for your multiple social networks...

Then again, as I don't really use Twitter I've never found a need to try it out, so I could be way off the mark.

They market the app now as a way to better control your twitter account with timed tweets and analytics as well as better ability to see where tweets are coming from and stuff, however for me the only reason i use it is to allow for one location to view both facebook and twitter without having to go to two apps/websites

for me the software is now completely useless.

Yep, had that come up for me last week. Coincidentally, it's on the same day TweetDeck Ltd. dissolved here in the UK. Needless to say, I am angry. I've been trying to find a suitable replacement, but it doesn't look like there's anything out there. :/ I used to use Sobees at one point, but it looks like that's been abandoned now; I installed it over the weekend, and it refuses to bring up my accounts, no matter how many times I connect them. Someone also tweeted me to try out something called "MyBucketz", but it's not for me (single column only, and it's a webpage, not an actual app). The best replacement I've found so far is called Yoono, which unfortunately lacks the kind of notifications TweetDeck has (it just displays a number in the icon on Chrome). I did also come across a nice looking app from Japan called Janetter, but it's sadly Twitter-only at the moment.

    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
