The Twitter app from old to new - Design in Review

A few days ago, Twitter launched their new design for their website as well as the re-designed Tweetdeck web app and the overall consensus was mostly positive, which is shocking considering people loath any change on the internet. From what we’ve seen, the brand-wide re-design of Twitter has been a success so far, and only a few small nicks and scratches are left to be filled here and there. Today though, we’re focusing on Twitter’s new iOS app because we think it’s the most significant change and just another example of Twitter expertly blurring the lines between desktop, web & mobile.

That, and a new revamped search that will help you find the latest trending photos and videos as well. — More after the break!

Twitter acquires Tweetdeck for loads of cash

Which iOS twitter client do you use? If you’re like most then probably TweetDeck (though I’m not one of them!) Well, sad to say that it looks like Tweetdeck is going to be acquired by Twitter for roughly $50 million. What’s this mean for the future of the mobile and desktop app, we’re not exactly sure. — Check out the details after the break!
