gethro on Should Google attempt to acquire Twitter?

Google should attempt to acquire Twitter.

There's a market for micro-blogging, yes? And Twitter owns it. Just as there was a huge market for online video - which YouTube owned/owns - Google's strategic advantage is that they can afford to enter, and immediately dominate, micro-blogging.

Opinion of Nick Oliva

Google should not attempt to acquire Twitter.

Another idea: You can set a tweet to be sent to a machine that at ANY time during the day triggers an "alarm" that would be able to "wake" someone up. Crazy, huh?

Opinion of Nick Oliva

Google should not attempt to acquire Twitter.

A friend had lunch with an insider and told me about a Tweet app being developed that links up to, say, your plants at home. You send a tweet that triggers something that would make the plants be watered at a set time.
