After days of speculation on technology blogs, Twitter officially announced Wednesday that it had agreed to acquire TweetDeck, a service that organizes Twitter feeds to make them more useful. According to people who had been briefed on the deal who were not authorized to speak publicly, Twitter agreed to pay about $40 million. TweetDeck is currently available as a free download for desktop computers, the iPhone, Google’s Android devices and the Google Chrome Web browser. The TweetDeck software will likely be rebranded to look more like Twitter’s other free applications — as Twitter has done with other software acquisitions — but the company said the software would remain available as a free separate download.
