Shifting away from a standalone Windows app in favor of the Web-based interface, Twitter announced plans to stop supporting the TweetDeck for Windows app starting April 15, Digital Trends said.
Explained in a post on the official Twitter blog, product manager Amy Zima claims that Twitter is attempting to “better focus on enhancing your TweetDeck experience.”
It’s unclear if existing installations of Tweetdeck will continue to work correctly after April 15, Digital Trend says. It’s possible that the app could continue to work, just without continued support and improvements that will roll out on the Web version of the application, the news agency reports.
That being said, Twitter has already removed the option of downloading the software from the site, likely another attempt to push users to the Web version at Tweetdeck.com, Digital Trend says.
