There are rumours out there that google will acquire twitter and I would say that is no surprise. I really feel that Twitter search is really cool and has a lot of potential as I point in this earlier blog post.
I also think that if google acquires twitter, they should not merge it with standard search. This should become a vertical search strategy for google rather than just feed into the standard search. Twitter has very different strengths when it comes to search and that should be kept in mind when thinking about integrated offerings.
We will see what happens … I am ready for the weekend!
