   TweetDeck, ME.

   

   True story:  In July of last year I was so instantly enamored with this new service I had tried, TweetDeck, that I immediately reached out to the company’s founder, Iain Dodsworth, and asked if I could buy his company.  I’ll remind you that TweetDeck had only launched on 4, July 2008.  It was love at first site.

   Iain smartly said no.  He was just getting started on a big, big idea.  Upwards of 20% of Twitter’s total daily usage now comes through TweetDeck.

   As I’ve noted previously, TweetDeck is #2 on my own personal list of web apps I use most often. I’m a TD addict, for sure.  TD is always open on my MacBook and I check it dozens of times per day.

   What goes around (finally sorta) comes around.

   I’m thrilled to now be an investor in TweetDeck as part of TD’s new round of financing.  I hope to help Iain and team grow an even more valuable service in the years ahead.

   TweetDeck, ME.
