Google has 45 accounts on Twitter: why not just buy them?
- bjplink 17y agoSpammers have thousands of accounts each on Twitter. I don't see anyone suggesting that they should spend a billion dollars to buy the service. What reason would Google possibly have for ever buying Twitter? I would hope they're gun-shy on large acquisitions after picking up the money sink they call YouTube. At least YouTube has some kind of revenue. A purchase of Twitter just comes with a huge spam/junk problem and a reputation for technical problems.
- nir 17y agoI'm honestly not sure if this is a brilliant parody of TechCrunch style "journalism" or just the echo chamber that produces quotes like "Google, which probably wants to buy Twitter just because it’s hot".
- towndrunk 17y agoDoes Twitter even make money? Buying them would end up just like youtube.
