What if Google bought Twitter?

Would you like to hear the latest rumor, The Washington Post has learned from two different sources that Google is in the late stages of acquiring Twitter. It is not known how much the search engine giant is going to purchase Twitter for, but estimates out it at over the $250 million value.

Facebook had tried to purchase Twitter, but they turned them down a few months back, and that was for half a billion dollars, but that price was based on overvalued Facebook stock. The reason why Google can offer lower is simple, they would be paying cash and/or publicly valued stock, and that is as good as cash.

You have to wonder why Google would want to acquire Twitter; maybe it has something to do with the fact that more and more people are now using Twitter. It is an easy way for people to interact. IF the deal does go ahead, then it would be a great move from Google, as the value of Twitter will only go up as time goes on.
