Wow--this exists?

I had heard of Tweetdeck, but I assumed that it was a third-party client which provided a better experience and was therefore at odds with Twitter's interests. You're telling me that, not only is Twitter okay with it, but that they built it?

It was independent then Twitter bought it.

The original TweetDeck was an Adobe AIR application. Twitter bought it, and then rewrote it as a website. So it could be argued that they built it.

There were alternatives before such as Seesmic, no idea how they work now, if they still do.
