I’m not surprised that they’re getting rid of the desktop Tweetdeck programs, because their support for it has been godawful for years. It *still* doesn’t have proper animated GIF support, but on the other hand, it doesn’t have a lot of the garbage features that web Twitter has, like Moments and Sponsored Tweets.
It’s a shame that Twitter killed the API for third party apps, because I’d love to see an open source TweetDeck clone.

We’re hearing that very sentiment from a lot of people. Oh well, I guess.

“According to Twitter’s blog post, users should be automatically logged into the TweetDeck Chrome and Mac apps as long as you’re on twitter.com or Twitter’s analytics page.” Already the case and it’s a disaster for multi users….
The great utility of tweetdeck for community manager is to have one tool for all accounts. Now I can’t use tweetdeck with my all accounts and see in tweeter others. Very bad news

Right!? We predict some pretty crazy “OOPS” moments for the next few weeks as people adjust….

As a long term, Windows based standalone Tweetdeck app user, I’m fine with this migration. However, my default and very preferred browser is Firefox. Is there a way to force clicks on links in the Chrome based Tweetdeck to open in FFox instead of Chrome? Looking for magic!

We’re not sure of the magic, Matthew, but we’ll ask around!

Matthew, we DID hear one suggestion that might work: “My suggestion would be to change the default browser preference to Firefox while using TweetDeck then you can always switch it back. That’s not the best fix, but it may work.”

Thanks. That’s a bit cumbersome and it appears that I will have to go with Chrome for now until some other deep, dark,black magic reveals itself! Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry we’re only partially magic 🙁

I hate not having the desktop version of Tweetdeck. I miss it&TBH,it worked a LOT better. Plus,it was much more convienient for me,than the web version. I have been having so many issues,glitches&problems on the web version(one of said issues,is it crashes my browser constantly&sometimes several times a day,where the desktop version never did that&another issue,is DM conversation is near impossible as it freezes up,after a few messeges),that I never had on the desktop version. Plus,I now have to be on the web,to use it,whereas with the desktop version,I did’nt have to worry about it,just click the pinned tab&I’m there&tweeting,no logging onto the web to access it,or anything else. I don’t see how they thought forcing us to use the web version,is better/more convienient than using the desktop version,but I personally don’t think it is,at all. I think the desktop version should have at least been made/left an option to choose if you wanted to use it,rather than force people to have only one way to use Tweetdeck. I like Tweetdeck/Twitter&used to love it,but all their constant changes(this one definately included)is sadly making me begin like it less&less&become more frustrated with it,as time goes on. \:
