Tweet deck is nice, but features that would alow me to keep up to date with both of my twitter feeds (http://twitter.com/worldometer and http://twitter.com/goodbaad) as TWHIRL can. I really don't understand the hype - nice tool but easily beaten, twitter apps are very easily built.

It's also a space that's littered with "good enough" solutions (google, pipes, rss, search.twitter), a hell of a lot of snake-oil salesmen and some pretty crap data (twitter). TweetDeck is a great product and great brand of course - with impressive market penetration - but I'd hope Iain will be using this opportunity to achieve more than that. In fact, with a investor team like that I'd be sure of it... so the question is: what's he really up to? ;-) “Tracking brands” is an incredibly competitive area that at the top end is handled well by incumbents like Onanalytica and at the bottom end is handled by 75% of the bedroom startups I’ve met.
