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.

Comparing Twitter to Giants

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

Silicon Alley Insider just published interesting data comparing growth rate of first three years among Twitter, Google, YouTube, Facebook, it appeared that Twitter’s growth dwarfed by three big guys. Do I worry? No, Twitter will matter more to people and business than Facebook, just give it time. And I am glad people consider twitter the little giant. The matter of fact is: twitter is experiencing exponential growth just about now, and much of usage is on mobile device.

google, youtube, facebook, twitter

Wait, did Youtube just give us a middle finger?!:)
