Nuked Security researcher has discovered a work-in-progress sign-up page for the app. Tweetdeck boasts that it’s a’powerful, real-time tool for people who live on Twitter’.
The page does n’t explicitly say you’ll have to pay Twitter to access TweetDeck. Companies do n’t usually advertise’helps you avoid the thing that makes us money’.
Twitter is filling in the new @ TweetDeck signup page.’ad-free experience’ is being marketed as the selling point.
Twitter is looking to monetize TweetDeck. Earlier this month, a code that seemed to redirect non-blue subscribers trying to access the new version of TweetDeck to the Twitter blue sign-up page.
Twitter is doing it as part of its drive to seem more friendly towards the community and third-party developers. It feels more likely that the company launched Twitter blue knowing TweetDeck could be a huge selling point.
The $ 2.99 a month subscription already feels like it’s aimed at people who use Twitter professionally. What’s essentially the pro version of its app would fit right into the service’s feature-set feature-set.
Twitter blue is n’t ad-free. That fact makes up two points in the FAQ for the service. So how would TweetDeck be ad-free be evidence that it’ll soon be part of Twitter blue?.
Tweetdeck as a blue feature would let Twitter offer paying subscribers a way to get an ad-free experience without exorcising them from its web and mobile apps. It’s a bit of a win-win (for Twitter, at least).
