Seesmic Aquires Popular Twitter AIR Client Twhirl
Written by on April 3rd, 2008 in Ajax News.
San Francisco video/chat startup Seesmic has acquired Twhirl, a popular application created by Marco Kaiser that allows users to access the Twitter service directly from their desktop. The deal will be announced on Friday morning, but the acquisition price is not being disclosed.
Twhirl is considered among the better third party Twitter applications. ReadWriteWeb, for example, just yesterday identified it as the third most used method for posting to the Twittersphere, behind the web and instant messaging, and just in front of Twitterific.
Seesmic says they will continue development of the application and eventually integrate their own service into Twhirl.
It’s important to note that Michael Arrington is a minor investor in Seesmic and so we won’t add a lot of commentary on the transaction. Look for a company announcement soon.
