Google should buy Twitter and integrate it into Gmail ...two tabs one email tab and one Twitter tab.
Not sure about others but this would great for me, as I spend a lot of time in Gmail and refresh Twitter many times a day.
- thwarted 18y agoYou wouldn't need to refresh many times a day if twitter was able to scale enough to send updates via XMPP (like friendfeed does, natch). Rather than a different tab, it should be interested with gtalk/chatting in the gmail interface.
- andr 18y agoGoogle has the know how (XMPP), the significant user base (every Gmail user), and the relationship (who talks to who) information to do this themselves. Heck, they just need to start logging GTalk status messages.
- paul9290 18y agoWell they already own a Twitter clone Jaiku and are doing nothing with it. With Twitter they'd be buying the users and the brand. Google is a better fit then Facebook, IMHO!
- josefresco 18y agoJaiku is a good example of why we should all hope Google does not buy Twitter. The 'assimilation' time into the Google borg would kill the service (or give Arrington a years worth of bitching material)
