Jodi Olson of Twitter said that Twitter plans to invest in TweetDeck.
These last months, Twitter has plagued on providers of third-party applications such as TweetDeck as a means to protect its territory.
The London-based TweetDeck was in talks with UberMedia, a Web company founded by Bill Gross that collects Twitter applications. Some commentators have speculated that they could be used to create a rival network to Twitter.
On Twitter, which allows people to send 140 characters, or tweets, text messages to groups of supporters is one of the most popular social networking sites of the Web with Facebook and Zynga.
