Louis Grey interviewed Iain Dodsworth author of TweetDeck
TweetDeck turns one:
TweetDeck Marks One Year Anniversary: The Journey and What's Next
Louis Grey talked to Iain Dodsworth about TweetDeck, his decision for Adobe AIR, funding and the future.
It's important to note that I originally built TweetDeck to solve my problem of being overwhelmed with Twitter. I gave it out to a few friends and was pleasantly surprised by the response. I then set up a private beta and became inundated with requests from complete strangers. It was because of this virality I didn't reach out to anyone to push it out further and then I received your email. The blog post you wrote on July 4th and the resulting mayhem essentially forced the private beta wide open and TweetDeck went public.

Same as delicous or Facebook, TweetDeck evolves not from a real business plan or market research. At first it was simple personal solution for a personal problem. Which get first known to friends of the authors and than made it quickly around the world. A approach to create innovations - just try it - especially for developers as development will not cost money but time only. If the idea will not fly, there is still the learning effect of creating an application.

To Follow or Not to Follow; that is the Question
To Follow or Not to Follow; that is the Question
After cleaning up my twitter account, I found this article this morning. I will now try to get more out of twitter. I had the same thoughts while cleaning the account. What approach should I take regarding following persons. The article seperates between:
- Reciprocals
- Discriminators
I decided to take the second approach. My twitter stream must deliver value to me - not necessarily money at all - or incubate nice conversations. It also must stay usable. In my opinion handling a stream following thousands of users will be impossible. But I still will keep my eyes open finding twitter users in fields currently not in my professional of private focus to widen my angle.
