I believe Google will try everything within their power to buy Twitter because if it is interfering with it's shares and it's earnings, what better to do than buy out the company. Although I believe Twitter is a great service and would be a top competitor with Google, every company has it's double thoughts as well and anything is possible. It is really all up to Twitter to see if they can sustain the pressure of being bought out by Google like how Google bought Myspace and I think Feedburner.

In other news, Steve Ballmer has announced that he “occasionally enjoys delicious pie”, clearly indicating that Microsoft intend to acquire goatse.cx in the second quarter of 2009. Wow, this journalism stuff is easy!

Google will easily monetize the signup, follow process, and search results. Adsense will be a mechanism for getting getting more followers, and the # of followers will become a currency. New terminology will describe all the metrics of this. eBay Marketing's last blog post..Marketplace Sellers Are Ready To Be Inspired

Two things, no three:

1) Google and Twitter should work together to put Google AdSense to it’s users pages on themselves – the savvier people get on the Twitter the less of the native web interface a user uses. Most are on handsets using SMS, or some other Twitter mobile app — or — on their desktops/laptops using TwitterFox, TweetDeck, and Twhirl.

2) If Twitter wants to make money – it’s going to be about selling info or making statistical info available to companies that want to know what people are saying “right now” – For example: Networks must watch Twitter as their users comment on Ugly Betty or Dancing w/ Who the Eff Cares. The real-time public gauges what’s hot and what’s not; companies MUST listen -or die (or FAIL or whatever they call it anymore).

3) If Twitter is to sell themselves to anyone it should be Amazon. Google would be a lazy dog to buy Twitter; frankly they can build a better app. The most mutually beneficial relationship between a Twitter buy-out would be between Amazon’s huge product base and Twitter’s HUGE user base.

I wonder if Plurk will ever compete with Twitter. Right now i think microblogging is a waste of time. Maybe soon when Google decides to buy them ill have second thoughts. Alfredo's last blog post..Twenty Seven

How many users of Twitter are actually in a mode to buy a product or service? The buzz about Twitter is ridiculously deafening. I think the potential for Twitter is much the same as other much-hyped social media.

Until social media connects user activity to actually buying stuff – it’s a lot of wheel spinning. No opportunity here. Just my 2c (which ironically would be the eCPC on a Twitter/ AdSense business model!)

Will Google acquire Twitter? I’m not too certain of that. Google is under close scrutiny by the new Administration. If the Yahoo! deal went through, I think there would have been some major problems for Google moving forward. There are people in the Administration who do not feel comfortable with Google’s monopoly on search. Acquiring the Twitter network would surely put them smack dab in the middle of something I’m not too certain they want to deal with.

If Google do acquire Twitter, they BETTER maintain the same business philosophies or the Herd will move very quick. All it takes is one wrong change and people will leave by the millions. Ask Facebook.

This will be a sad day if G acquires Twitter.

They’d probably try some GTalk or Android integration which would frak everything up and I will end up using plurk or other second tier service.

Just say no.
Please.
