Twitter in Talks to Buy TweetDeck

... I find it hard to believe they are concerned by the tune of $50million that TweetDeck would create a viable competing service.

That said, I find it hard to believe TweetDeck is worth anywhere near $50million. Based on what revenues and how?

To me this is probably for the following reasons: 1. Talent acquisition (15 employees) 2. Build this up into a pro premium set of tools 3. Much less than $50m frankly I think tweet deck can't be generating more than $2-3m in revenue. I'd bet 15-20m is the price.

If Tweetdeck is mostly contractors, I hope we don't see another HuffPost syndrome where people walk off because they saw things as being unfair.
