Google Buying Twitter?
It's possible that the search giant is eying the micro-blogging giant, but what will that mean for Twitterers/Twitts/Tweeps everywhere? Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) made some interesting observations on his blog:
"Remember, Google is the company that bought Jaiku and then did nothing with it. It’s the company that bought Dodgeball (a company that had a service very similar to Twitter that was out before Twitter). And did nothing with it (the founders of that company also wrote a "we’re leaving" letter to Google.)"

What's your take on Google's potential acquisition? Do you see it benefitting Twitter, or even more importantly, Twitter users? Personally, I think Twitter is fine the way it is now. They may not have a business plan, but their formula works and people like it. Like the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it...Google."
