The price will deinitely go up in the next months and years – in my opinion it is better to buy it today and not waitin for another chance. It is crazy how twitter grew in the last months; there will be dfinitely more advertising when it get sold, and what is with the accounts and personal datas? I do not know where all that “let everybody know everything of me” leads to in the next years…

Can’t see really why they would want except if they own it, it’s not competing with them in any way. As mentioned there a re a lot of up and coming semi-popular that Google has acquired only to do nothing with once the majority of people lost interest. Who knows the logic or lack of it in these deals, I’m sure there is something behind it. Perhaps it’s worth taking them on just in case it is the next big thing. But I don’t see Twitter accepting any offers now they’ve just declared they are now making a profit. Well, none as low as 250 million.

Twitter is a waste of time and an awful fad. 100 million users who never look at the site. If you’re a celebrity, or someone paid by celebrities to represent them on twitter, maybe people read on, but ultimately, nobody cares. It’s something to do, maybe.

Google should avoid this idiotic waste of internet attention. If they MUST have it, spend a weekend and program a better one. Lord knows they have the resources. How many people have a gmail account? There’s your target user base. Have at it, geniuses. Wanna waste a half billion or so? Go buy that stupid site and park it next to live journal, friendster and everything else people got tired of.

Twitter… pfft. Micro blogging is pointless.

How is that Blogger working out for you, google? Do you not notice twitter is basically blogger, but worse? Kudos.

I’m done with this. Learn how to code, searchenginejournal.com, then maybe you won’t gussy up websites with zero use.

May twitter fail and burn in the sewer from whence it came.

PEACE OUT!

I think it’s still a good purchase. Yes, too bad for Google for not acting on this earlier, but better than wait until it doubles in price/value.

I’m sure Twitter is a perfect match for Google. And the cocktail of adwords and Twitter could be pretty interesting.

So perfect for Google .. but for Twitter I really don’t know!

Real-time search trending and Twitter integration with Gmail is a formidable combination, one that neither Yahoo nor MSFT bring to the party.

@jack – I understand you don’t like advertising. If not ad-supported then, I’m assuming you would pay a healthy amount each month for a premium ad-free account, right? The money must come from somewhere. You run a farm. You’re a businessman. I know you know that

@dan – you’ve seen enough Google purchase of product. This is white-hot like YouTube was rather than, say, Jotspot or others. I’m sure Google would let the brand stand for now and focus on the scalability problems. (They could do that for Gmail too, and I would be happy)

I quess its still doing the American way is to fear competion then the one with the most money just buy it. Hope Twitter stays the same, or gets better. One thing I dont want to see is a flood of adds.

Why does google have to own the net? I kind of like the separation of companies. But if someone offered me $250 million, I’d take it in a heart beat. Twitter is still relatively new and with 7 million unique visitors last month alone, i think google is making a pass to acquire what will grow to who knows. There are reports that twitter plans to turn a profit by offering analytics. I am sure google wants a piece of that.

What’s in it for Google? Oh, how about a huge refining of their search returns based upon human input. Let’s face it 8-9 million twitterers isn’t that big a deal for a behemoth. I don’t know how you’d incorporate Twitter results in the google returns, but I know for current info, Twitter is my search engine of choice. Crowdsourcing works for search. Google is smart enough to figure this out.
