> I am confused why Disney is even in this conversation at this point. Same here. There are a few companies that I could see a good fit with Twitter, but definitely not Disney. Facebook is an option as their mission is to connect everyone in the world, and Twitter still works via SMS for the billions of people using non-smart mobile devices. Google wants a social media platform with significant reach (Google+ is still struggling), and I could see Twitter integrating well with some of its other sites like Youtube. Verizon has been able to squeeze money out of AOL, and currently plans to do the same with Yahoo. Maybe they could figure out a model for Twitter, but it seems like a bit of a stretch. Apple dabbled in the social media sphere with Ping, and they have built-in authentication with Twitter. It seems unlikely they could ever make money off Twitter, but it seems like the sort of thing they might be willing to waste money on.
