Google to buy Twitter??

This week the blog-o-sphere was clashing about opinions of Google buying out Twitter. While some may say it’s a bad thing, I think that it could make Twitter better (or at least more useful).

TechCrunch proprietor Michael Arrington, citing three unnamed sources, said on Thursday night that Google would pay for Twitter in cash, stock or a combination of the two.

The companies are also considering working together on a new search engine, he wrote.

Hours after Arrington’s blog entry, Kara Swisher reported on her Boomtown blog said the story was inaccurate, citing “a number of sources.”

“In fact, Twitter and Google have simply been engaged in ’some product-related discussions,’ according to one source,” Swisher wrote.

I know that I write a lot about Twitter, but I still can’t understand why some people want to use it. Someone commented on the last post I wrote about Twitter with a YouTube video that basically sums up exactly how I feel about it.
