<p><span class='drop_cap'>T</span>he search giant Google has a habit of acquiring those companies who start rocking the world; and apparently its new target is the most powerful micro-blogging community on the Earth &#8212; Twitter.</p>
<p>The news is shaking, though it isn&#8217;t officially announced by either company. But the rumors of Google acquiring Twitter have started out lately from the founder of twitter. That&#8217;s why we are putting much value into the rumor; which may soon become a reality.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_139" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.techiepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/google_twitter-buy-out.jpg" alt="Twitter with Google" title="google_twitter-buy-out" width="400" height="400" class="size-full wp-image-139" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Twitter-bird above the Google logo does not look bad anyway!</p></div><br />
<span id="more-138"></span><br />
Jack Dorsey, the founder and chairman of  Twitter, attended a panel session titled as &#8220;European Gang Live&#8221; at LeWeb 09 in Paris, where he was asked by journalists if the search giant Google was planning to buy his company. People there were expecting a straight &#8220;No&#8221;; but the founder instead replied saying: </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There have been no announcements.&#8221; (Telegraph online)</p></blockquote>
<p>As soon as he answered the question in this kind of positive tone, he was repeatedly being questioned by others why he hadn&#8217;t denied the possibility of the deal between Google and Twitter. In reply, he just said that the answer had come to him.</p>
<p>He also said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Twitter is focused on building a sustainable company.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s when the rumor among millions of twitter users and other technologists as well as end users has begun. Another rumor of Google interested in buying twitter had spread earlier this week, and when Google started indexing updates from twitter in a real-time basis, the rumor has just strengthened. </p>
<p>The founder has given wood onto the fire by not denying the possibility of the deal between his company and the largest &#8220;acquiring-company&#8221;, Google.</p>
<h2>What do you think?</h2>
<p>Do you think that Google would buy twitter soon? Do you believe it&#8217;s worth for Google to acquire twitter? Do you think Google, if acquires twitter, will put additional policies on the usage of twitter? Share with us whatever comes up after reading the news above.</p>

<p><span class="drop_cap">S</span>earch Giant Google and Microsoft (for its search engine Bing) are now trying to sign a deal with Twitter separately which will allow them to index real-time twitter updates/statuses in their respective search results. This will help people find the real-time update of whatever they search for.</p>
<p>Twitter is one of the greatest services of today&#8217;s technology that is rocking the entire world with the power of communication. This real-time micro-blogging service has gained extreme popularity among its users although most of the Facebook users feel limited as twitter status has a limit of 140 characters. Still, twitter is great and is a huge gathering on the net.<br />
People love real-time communication system and that&#8217;s where twitter is great. Whenever there&#8217;s something hot, you will find it on twitter. More amazingly, that&#8217;s not static. That&#8217;s real-time; means it gets updated each time someone tweets on that topic. Now Google and Bing are seeking this power from Microsoft so that people who are not in twitter may also get real-time twitter updates in search result pages on any topic. Sources said that Twitter is talking with both Google and Bing, but separately.<br />
Analysts say that this could be an awesome opportunity for twitter to at last make some money. This way all three parties will be benefited. So, accepting the proposal given by Microsoft and Google would be the best decision of twitter, as most of the analysts say.</p>
<p>Some other sources reported that twitter is going to take some advertisements to show in different parts of the site as well as selling premium services to business twitterers in near future which will also make some money for the company. However, the main service, twitter, is sure to remain free of cost for end users.
