近期傳出消息，google將買起twitter。

Rumor: Google In Talks to Buy Twitter. [Update] Or Possibly Not

Just last year, Twitter’s management turned down a buy-out form social networking giant, Facebook. Now rumors are swirling that Google wants to buy the increasingly popular microblogging service.

Twitter’s management turned down a $500 million buy-out offer from Facebook late last year, which was an interesting move for a company that made zero revenue at the time. And now the rumors are heating up that Google is in talks with the company and a possible buy-out is on the table.

This may actually have been what Twitter was hoping for–after all, in the ensuing months it’s increased its user numbers significantly, been featured as an example vehicle for citizen journalism after the Hudson river plane accident, and has begun moves to monetize its business. All of these events will undoubtedly have increased its value, and Google has more cash than Facebook does.

Twitter在美國大行其道，但在香港，其用戶群好可能不到千人，點解google要收購他呢？

大約幾個月前，twitter在網站寫了一句「See what’s happening — right now」，下面有個搜尋框，意味他們有能力搜尋這一刻正在發生的事情。

換言之，那就是：Real Time Search!!

老實說，Google核心業務是搜尋，花10億美元，有機會買下一段美滿姻緣或除掉一個可怕對手，不管是那個結果，敢情都划算。

為此，我做了實驗，看看這刻誰在說…
