Farewell, TweetDeck, it was fun and informative while it lasted. You're going behind a paywall and will probably never be heard from again.
I've been using TweetDeck for almost as long as I've been on Twitter (now X). The multi-column social management tool had Tweet in the name, but more than a decade ago it wasn't part of Twitter and you could use it to manage social streams from LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace(!), and even the dearly departed Google Buzz. Twitter bought the app and team in 2011 and thus launched a very long and somewhat tortured love/hate relationship with its stepchild product.
