Despite having no business model to speak of, the hottest little micro-blogging site on the web, Twitter, is being eyed tentatively by search behemoth Google.
If this is an April Fool’s Joke, it’s a little late to the party.
While initial word made it sound like the negotiations were in the late stages, the current speculation is that talks have merely just begun. Nonetheless, users are atwitter about the news, with opinion divided about whether or not the acquisition would be a desirable or not. On one hand, Google’s incredible server resources could bring an end to the dreaded Fail Whale. The biggest concern is that Google will instantly monetize the service, vis-a-vis some sort of adwords implementation, subscription mechanism, or other method(s).
It looks too early to say at this point what will happen, but after Facebook’s failed attempt late last year, some said it was inevitable that Twitter would be able to hold out against the siren call of money hats.
