This was inevitable: Twitter’s buying TweetDeck, meaning it’ll own the predominant Twitter apps on basically every platform. What that means for innovation in the ways people access Twitter, we’ll have to see. (Personally, I hope it means there’s gonna be a version of TweetDeck not written with Adobe AIR.) [TechCrunch]

A lot of improvements have been made by the developer team in this new version.
I’ve posted a quick comparison review (head-to-head between the 1.x version and 2.0 version) here: http://bit.ly/eAFwUy
You should check ‘em out if you’re thinking of upgrading to the 2.0 version or want to look for alternatives for your current Twitter app.
TweetDeck 2.0 really worths the checking out
