Should Google Buy Twitter?
Last night a rumor started to circulate that Google was buying Twitter. It’s believable, but… my question to those following me on Twitter was…
skquinn: to me one of the cool things about Twitter is the fact some other company like Google hasn't eaten it up already. Am I alone?
