iPhone App Review: TweetDeck 1.1 - A Love Affair
My sweet Tweetie. I am sorry to be writing this, but it is with a heavy heart that I must admit I've met someone else.
When I had that fling with Ping.fm last year, I told you it was the last time. As I spent less and less time with you, I swore it was simply a relationship of convenience. I didn't lie, but perhaps that shallow affair set the stage for TweetDeck to break into my life.
I know, you think I'm just leaving you for someone younger. You think I've been seduced by the glamor of a multi-column user interface. I'll admit when I first met TweetDeck, I thought it made promises it had no intentions of keeping, that its Emo/Goth attire bespoke a certain immaturity. But now, with 1.1, I realize TweetDeck was telling the truth the whole time, it's shown me a whole new face. The connection I share with TweetDeck goes so much deeper than mere physical attraction.
This isn't all my fault you know. You said last month you wanted to take our relationship to a new level. I hurried along to download 2.0 and the realization hit me like a punch to the stomach: You only wanted me for my money. After all the time we've spent together, all the love I've given you, you keep bleeding me, wanting more. I think that's when I first started pulling back. Taking another look at your "love" for me. TweetDeck doesn't care if I'm rich or poor. Don't you DARE call it cheap. What we have transcends such ugly considerations as money.
It's not only your fixation on nickels and dimes (and $2.99).TweetDeck understands me, is accepting of my needs. I've finally seen how you snubbed my Facebook friends, pushing me to stay in the "high society" of Twitter only. If you wondered why I cheated on you with Ping, you need look no further than your own snobbery.
