Google Buying Twitter? Arrington Says So
We all knew it was bound to happen, Big Brother Google is in talks (and they seem to be pretty advanced) with Cool New Kid on the Block Twitter to work some sort of acquisition deal. The search giant (that was once loved by all, much like Twitter is today) is looking into buying Twitter. Here’s what Michael Arrington said:
“Here’s a heck of a rumor that we’ve sourced from two separate people close to the negotiations: Google is in late stage negotiations to acquire Twitter. We don’t know the price but can assume its well, well north of the $250 million valuation that they saw in their recent funding.”
Now, don’t panic. If Google does buy Twitter, it won’t be the end of the microblogging platform that gave you the best web service in years (yet made it very difficult for you to make actual friends). Twitter will probably stay the same, much like it is now, maybe with some improvements on the users’ end.
