Twitter’s Biz Stone tells Stephen Colbert “Revenues this year”, but not from paid account. Evan agreed with lots of twits, and an April fools day joke that “twitter pro won’t happen”

Mar. 7, 2009 – Schmidt: Google ‘unlikely’ to buy Twitter soon on Charlie Rose Show

Posted in Twitter Monetizing Strategy on April 2nd, 2009 by 2above – View Comments

I don’t think Google/Twitter acquisition will happen. Why in the hell, the lead visual designer at Google will join twitter days before Google buys twitter, without Eve telling him anything? Ok, I get it, cash is the king. But what about exercise date for the option granted to new employee, would that be extremely frustrating to go back and stay till the day options will all mature?

Google in talk to acquire Twitter: And why Twitter should not sell

Posted in Twitter Monetizing Strategy, Twitter intro, Web Marketing Strategies on April 2nd, 2009 by 2above – View Comments

Techcrunch just released that Google is about to acquire twitter. I am not surprised. (see my previous post on April 1st fools day) Twitter needs a better search engine and will need resource to build it. Google has it, but Google won’t partner with twitter. Google has to get twitter in its entirety.

Michael Arrington also talked about Twitter be a search engine, and down play twitter’s “pro account” feature. I can’t agree more.

The money is in the search, twitter realized it and is testing out the search box in side bar, for people to find more interesting stuff to follow, and for business to target the “talkers” for their brand, or shop (small businesses). It’s two way communication channel, and one step above current search engine states. Once twitter gets its search fixed up for relevancy, twitter is well on its way to become next Google. Yes, you hear it right. Next Google.

Couple years ago, we had Youtube, Facebook, and we always have been wondering, who and what will be the next Google. Now we have a winner.
