According to a report by Wall Street Journal social networking site Twitter is in advanced talks to buy TweetDeck for $50 million. TweetDeck competes with Twitter in web and mobile clients.
Twitter’s buyout of TweetDeck will come as a surprise to Ubermedia which were in deep plans to acquire TweetDeck themselves. In February Twitter has suspended UberMedia’s three major mobile applications for violating its policies and reinstated all three apps one day later.
To make matters worse reports emerged last week that UberMedia is developing its own microblogging service which will directly compete with Twitter.
According to CNN.com UberMedia is looking to attract users to its microblogging service by addressing common complaints about Twitter, such as its restrictions on the length of a message and how the service can be confusing to newcomers.
