    If they could make that happen, that would be a nice addition to their portfolio. They will have to pay out the nose for it though. You thought that the billion that they paid for youtube was a lot, you just wait.

    Well in some situations Google can't just create an own website. This is a such example, here they need to buy something that someone else made famous/popular.

    Those articles are old. Twitter is now on the way to making good money. I doubt they'll sell out to Google. But they do have a pretty good relationship with Google, so the search giant will likely benefit from their success (as Microsoft benefits from Facebook's).

    Actually they didn't, Groupon declined their offer of $6 billion.

    Yes, I agree. I've read the news on Digg a couple of months ago, maybe.

    Google has been trying to get into the social networking game for some time ... they failed when building one from the ground up (google buzz) so i think its a logical next step. they've got a ton of cash that they've been throwing around to grab businesses up but i dont think twitter will sell.

    Wrong. Until you get any official information from Google, you should not claim such.

    More to say, Tweet methods are not new for Google. So, it is not true that Google is intrested for twitter.

    I'm sure both Facebook and Google wants to get Twitter on their side.
