google rumored to buy twitter for 250 million
 

Of course they are, there arn't enough ads on it

Google ftw!

google trying to own the internet

Trying? They basically do.

heh another one to google

I Guess The F.U.B.A.R. offer of a $1.95 was'nt quite enough:Oh crap

:2 cents::2 cents:

Google is not buying twitter. They were in talks about ads and this rumor has been debunked. Plus one of the founders of Twitter says they would not sell for a billion. Here is where Kara Swisher debunked it - http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090403/...gging-service/

Shiiittttttttddddddddd

bullshit. I'd sell my wife for a billion in a heart beat.

Damn google own everyone !!

Not even sell for a billion huh....idiots

Fucking idiots. Seriously a billion and they wouldn't sell? Yeah right.

They turned down facebook's 500 million dollar offer earlier this year.

They are dumb I thought they were burning tons of cash but they aren't

Inevitable....

500mil in "overvalued FB stock" yes.

seriously if someone offered them a billion in "cash" they would be idiots not to take it and run. Isn't Twitter dying out already.....

People said the EXACT same thing about Facebook not selling to Yahoo for a billion. In a few years I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook is bigger than Yahoo.

For the record I think twitter is a piece of shit though.

twitter worth a billion?

lmao, god damn thats some stupid shit

Twitter grew 1,382% year-over-year in February

what I meant is that this is huge now but will it be next year, aka take the bill (if they offer it) and run!

Im sending her this link :p

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

people are talking that twitter will be the way ppl search for things soon. I do not know how that will come to light but if it does happen (and with Google and MS reportedly interested in twitter something has to be going on) 1 billion is nothing.

My God, if sites that make no money can be worth billions, imagine how much the first social networking site that makes money will be worth...Trillions?? lol

I can see how facebook has at least some value because eventually some smart person should be able to milk some money out of it.

But Twitter has fad written all over it.

Well google does know thw owners very well. Weren;t they the same guys as blogger.com ?

I wouldn't sell yet.

and if I did i'd want more than $250 in gold or rice or some other commodity that isn't dumping it's value.

Myspace didnt die out neither does it look like Facebook will. What makes you think Twitter is?

no idea to be perfectly honest but for a billion I would sell in a heartbeat, no need to try to squeeze more out of it.

PS I seriously think these are insane amounts of money to the poin of not making sense anymore.

You and me both

She knows her ass is for sale for the right price lol

See, the plan would be to collect the billion, move it to a secret numbered account or 10 then pay a hitman a few mil to "erase" the buyer :)

Just waiting on the buyer... :pimp

wont they be sorry after the hoopla dies down and they wont even be able to get the inital 500 mill they were offered ? :winkwink:

where will these sites be in 5+ years, who's to say there won't be something new to come along and take its place. those guys should sell and never look back.

Yes, they sold Blogger to Google. Same people.

Well, maybe it has sentimental value to them?

You can't put a price on that...

(barf)

Well yeah ofcourse, just replying to this part: ...one of the founders of Twitter says they would not sell for a billion...

and lol at sentimental value :1orglaugh

Twitter is worth way more than a billion
they are going to send PPC ads on twitter live search wich is going to get bigger and bigger

fuck oprah start using it live on TV last week

Wait until the next round of elections next year. It worked to help Obama and you can bet every politician running will be tweeting away rounding up support and votes. Twitter is here to stay.

The scary part is most people don't have a problem with that.

They most likely don't know much about what Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been up to and which meetings he has been attending.

Twitter will last about another 10 months then .. byebye

twitter: reading twitter thread

good rumor

and what is it?

Twitter is the shit right now... They should take $1Bil though

Hoorah. Google onto another winner. Like Youtube.

interesting news

bring on adsense for twitter

I worked at a Venture Capital firm and boy did we get some crazy valuations. It's all about being wise enough to point out that the Emperor wears no clothes. That's all that is...unless the company is actually cranking out cash!
