THEY have lost there way
Google has lost control between a advertiser service and a service for the people. they have follwed suit and fell into the trap of marketer to sell anything and snipit placement. those of us who have been on the web way before google was even born. Sorry to say this but google doesnt need to become a yahoo but a service far better for the people and not the advertiser roll they are playing now To be honest my trust in google has VASTLY DEcreased in thier abilty to become a peoples choice web company I used to be proud of google, being from the area, but now I have no choice as to not to care for them at all Hopefully google will take off the blinders they have on from there BEAN COUNTERS to a company that is what they started to be at the start not the direction they are going now
google has effected our web presence and has Well just screwed up as a business owner I would not touch them with a 10 foot pole no matter what they bought at this time until they change I will not change my mind until they stop being street walkers for a buck
wao
Yahoo is the best google is the :(
This news is not good. I am
This news is not good. I am so sick of corporations taking over everything. There has to be independent businesses. This is why "customer service" is shoddy. Don't take on everything. This is how focus is lost.
Google will eventually own
Google will eventually own everything and everybody, goddamnit! I'm gonna go get some Tweeter stocks. Google is about to make them an offer they can't refuse.
Twitter
The right questioon, Is good for twitter to be owned by google?
Twitter
I feel, it is not good.
twitter
good for who is the question?
omg
what exactly is the background? i think it will not be good for the webmaster if google buys
most posability better business over join force with twitter
cource Google will benefit out by get united with graet business as twitter world advatage ,act fast and getting action fast best business is critical to let go?
Twitter
The advent of internet has flattened the world, we are freed from the confines imposed by protectionist societies, add search engine technologies and social media and you have a revolution, the free information revolution. Just like the industrial revolution, it will go into the history text books for schools of the future. And our very distant future generations will be reading about the free information revolution not really being able to relate to it, because it will be archaic. Where does it all end? Twitter.
Google and twitter
Yea it will probably end up being sold to Google. Its the hottest thing out there and Google is waiting for the financial crisis to ease up a bit. the n the sale will go down
Google...twitter...not a match
Twitter should not sell out to google. If they do, I can imagine that many people will leave twitter as not wanting to be tied to yet another google product. Google's nice, but it's not 100% reliable either and still has service outages like other services. ALTHOUGH...it might be fun to see the two play together, maybe twitter could license access to google...that would be good for a nice shot in the bank account for twitter... :)
Yes!
They are both simple and the colors match. LOL.
Twitter is fine the way it is
If they do purchase it I hope that it stays the same.

dude, are you kidding, none
dude, are you kidding, none of these big companies knows how to keep anything the same!
Facebook used to be the best, but now they've got all kinds of complications because they didn't know how to keep it the same. none of these companies follow by the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Trust me, it will no longer be user friendly anymore. just like facebook is becoming less and less user friendly
Stand alone
First I have nothing against Google. I have nothing bit praise for them, and if I ruled the world (Google) I like to think I would be as impartial, honest and helpful to the world as they have.
BUT
Twitter is a great little application that has flourished, I would rather we all gave Twitter 2 or 3 dollars a year membership. I think that would be more than enough to reward its founders well, as they deserve to be. It would also have a little something for light future development, it doesn't need to have a lot done to it. It does what it does well. Si an independent Twitter gets my vote.
BUT
If it's a case of sell or die, then I think Google are the best placed to do the job.
I just like lots of little independent projects, all working to the same end.
Getwitter
Google should remain Google and let someone else twitter.
In my opinion Twitter is a passing fad.
Twitter
Yes I aggree, I beleive that Twitter is just a passing Fad.
I am a member of Twitter because its just something when ive got a spare few minutes to do.. otherwise I find its a bit boring, dont think that Google would make it any better?
twitter
Twitter has been twiddling its thumbs over advertising since it's inception. Why? You know the old saying: if can't sh!t, get off the pot. If twitter cannot create its own advertising system, use google's for the time being. Money is going out the door in lost opportunity cost each quarter that they delay. Google could be a temporary stopgap while they develop their own ad serving system or it could be long-term solution. Hey twitter, it's OK to outsource.
Google should buy Twitter
Google should buy Twitter and use their resources to become one the #1 social networks on the internet.
Google would have the power to bring Twitter to its next level the current owners cannot.
either that or they'll have
either that or they'll have the power to tank twitter. Just because a big corp. buys out a smaller business, doesn't mean its going to do any better than before hand.
Twitter Needs to Remain Independent
I think Twitter needs to remain independent. Web 2.0 is on the way up and it is the new search.
Google Takeover
No. Google is already too big and seems to have lost its original direction. Acquiring more money and greater power seems to be winning over talent and discovery.
thats because its all about
thats because its all about money these days. Nothing else matters but having the most money. :P
Go On Google
Do it Google! I use Twitter and at times it is slow to load etc. There will be an improvement, I'm sure, if Google buys. I am a Blogger fan and have absolutely no complaints with that service at all.
Twitter Google
Twitter would definitely benefit from the extreme server resources that Google has. Not to mention scaling the code so it does not run into overload when it is at peak use.
One reason Twitter is slow is they changed lead programmers mis stream. There is a lot of blame flying in that scenario, but bottom line, Twitter needs scalable datacenters and enterprise level coding to bring performance up.
They would be better off to write the code in C and make it part of the low level code. That is how Google is written, not in a scripting language.
I guess we'll see...
I use both Twitter and Google for my safety and security web site and have been pleased with both. I guess time will tell if this aquisition will happen. Thanks, Chris, for this information.
It make sense
It makes sense in respect of preventing someone else buying it perhaps and then coming up with that golden egg idea that monetises it seamlessly. At least yet another branding tool also.
Twitter as a Candidate for acquisition by Google
That sounds to me like a typical argument of cowboy capitalism. There is no value added in this, neither for Google shareholders nor for users nor for advertisers.
I agree with the guest above
I agree with the guest above who said that google needs to get back to putting the customer first. I used adwords for a hot second and I didn't like it at all. I had a problem, and needed some help, but there's no phone number for me to call, and you're telling me I have to go to a forum to get my questions answered? And then they send me an e-mail asking me how they can improve their services. Don't worry, I gave them a piece of my mind. Yahoo has excellent customer service where they actually have a phone number,and people actually pick up the phone.
