I have the same question. I don't see buying Twitter as being very useful to Apple. Just because Apple, Google and Facebook are 3 of the largest tech giants at the moment doesn't mean they directly compete. What's more, if the assumption is that Apple isn't very good at social, then the only thing they achieve by acquiring Twitter is to suddenly make themselves a straight competitor in a field where they have little expertise. I don't see it making sense, but maybe I'm just being shortsighted :)

Seems their expertise is being measured by ping and the fact that it's not fb sized or twitter sized. How does twitter fit with their products and strategy? It just seems sort of expensive when they can partner with those companies and have most of the same benefits
