Twitter, the social networking phenomonm has been in negotiations over past year to acquire TweetDeck.com the innovative bowser that keeps all your all your social media efforts on one page, making it easy to tweet like pro with your finger on the pulse. As of Monday, May 2 Twitter solidified the deal to the chirp of 50 million dollars.
