I predict that Google will make a strong move to own Twitter....they have vision, science, and can do the math.

The foundation of twitter is the open platform and API. Facebook needs twitter but the buyout would have really limited the potential growth and scope of what twitter could be become. In the few years they have been in business we have already seen a drastic evolution in the way people use it. We haven't seen anything yet. I am excited to see how the culture of mass open communication will change the way we look at things. I think if they had sold out to Facebook they really would have stunted their growth.

Clearly, they have a strong interest in Twitter. That said, Twitter has more financial flexibility to wait it out given they just raised $35M. Sure, it's a possibility.
