I've been using Twitter for a little while now and get a good amount of traffic from it.

I personally like twitter and its cute little features. It's not like Facebook where people get upset if you stop being their friend, you can choose who you want updates from.

From a marketing point of view, it's a great tool for gaining customers through informal chat.

All you doubters just give it a go.

If Kara Swisher is married to a Google executive and she is sharing what the information he brings home from work, information that Google itself is unwilling to release to the press, how much longer will Mr. Swisher be working for Google.

Not long I would suppose.....

We all know Arrington can post a few things that are over the top.

But Swisher seems a bit to out to qualify herself here. Saying that her husband shares insider Google information with her and she publishes it? I would not exactly share that is I had that resource.

I am way more interested to see what Google has to say to the guy when he gets to work today....

Twitter seems to be a flash in the pan to me. Can't see why Google would have any long term interest.

Google want to buy Twitter?
i cant believe it.

There's very little you can say in 140 characters and I don't thing Google would be to interested in Twitter because, well... it just isn't enough viable content. They have plenty of, what is known as, their own "Cesspool".

Twitter is just nothing more than that... a cesspool of worthless information. It's only real value is the traffic it generates. So monetizing may be the only thing Google would be interested in.

Who really cares and wants to know stuff like... "Having a cup of Java Mocha Mint Latte with Chocolate Sprinkles" or " My Dog Is Humping My Leg... Eww... How Gross". Get the drift... worthless info. No wonder our country is in the crapper, we live in a world that has gone seriously Twidiot.

I think the whole Twitter site is a joke it's not even user friendly. Also it's just like puting a staus message on Facebook or Myspace what's so cool about that?

Google put up a site themself that would be much better then that on there own and you know it would be a lot more user friendly. Oh and it better have much more features haha.

Isn't it obvious? ...just another case of "Rumour has it.."

Google won't buy Twitter because it doesn't go with their company model. When/if it does they will buy but they but they don't need to.

Google is doing fine by itself and so is Twitter and just like how Myspace was bought out by media giant (Viacom, I believe) the credibility of that site went down and now it's dying. People would leave twitter and find something new to network through. I'm sure there's no short of sites that would love to take Twitter's #1 spot.

they will

If gogole buys twitter or puts adsense on it will create more income stream for them both, twitters getting a lot of traffic.

Since I'm on Twitter mainly to socially market my safety and security web site, I'm always interested in what's going on there. Thanks, Jason, for giving us the scoop.

My opinion is Twitter should not be sold to any internet giant especially Google, Microsoft or MSN. If Twitter owners can manage well they won't be needed for any supporter.

I saw an interview with Biz Stone one of the owners of Twitter and it didn't sound like to me they are interested in selling to any body least of all Google. According to what he says, they are going to be rolling out some ad revenue schemes of their own later this year so they are definitely looking at making Twitter a viable business.
