Gwitter or MicroSwitter

Rumors, rumors, rumors. Reminds me of the 80’s R&B Hit; “Rumors”.

Anyway, according to TechCrunch, there’s a rumor circulating about Google wanting to acquire Twitter; (the original creators of Blogger); for a far north figure or the recently Twitter valuation of $250 million.

Yet, latest updates say that Evan wouldn’t even move on a Billion dollar offer. hmm.. That might have something to do with the fact that MicroSoft isn’t gonna just sit idly by while such a deal is negotiated by their self proclaimed arch rival.

Interesting watching the big boys play in the sand, huh? Wonder how this one is gonna turn out. Hopefully Twitter won’t be too bull headed and shoot themselves in the foot like Yahoo did. (oops)
