If you’ve been using TweetDeck apps on your phone or desktop, we have bad news for you. Twitter has announced that it will be axing TweetDeck’s apps for iPhone, Android and Adobe AIR Desktop. The apps will disappear from their respective stores early May onwards and will stop functioning soon after. The company will be discontinuing Facebook integration too. TweetDeck stated that the apps are being killed in favour of its browser version. The company said that over the past 18 months, it had been focused on building a fast and feature-rich web application for modern browsers as well as a Chrome app that offers some unique features like notifications. The team at TweetDeck has been working on providing users of the browser app with weekly updates that add more features over time, like updated Tweet streams, search auto-complete, search filters and more.
