Hi all,
This week's poll question is about whether or not Google should buy Twitter. Discuss here what you think about this acquisition roomer, and, if you like, the poll results themselves.
Thanks!
Justin

Twitter is annoying and evil. Google doesn't want to be evil. Google should leave Twitter alone.
The HTPC:
Pentium M oc'ed to 2.82GHz, 667FSB, 2MB L2
3GB of DDR-800 @ 667MHz
GeForce 9600GT
Blu-Ray
Vista
Modified PowerMac G4 'Quicksilver' case
HDMI to homebuilt 1080p projector

After Google buys all the good properties on the Monopoly board, no one will want to play with them anymore.

Twitter has its own language. Messages are called "tweets", while people who use Twitter are nicknamed "twits". from Wikipedia

It takes a twit to send a tweet.Change Is Good

From the responses above I guess I am not the only one that doesn't understand what the attraction is.

If one signs up to Twitter how do you cancel your "membership?" A friends teenage daughter has become involved in this lot and wants to get out.
There is no such thing as Health Food... just Health Fanatics!

go to settings in your account (top bar has the link).
On the screen that appears, in the very bottom left, there should be a Delete my account link.

If there's any truth to the rumor, then kudos to Google for recognizing how to continue to stay ahead of the curve.

I like the rumor because it revalidates the dot-com boom business model. Make a popular service, then find some company to buy the site. Who needs a revenue model outside of venture capital?

Thank you jon_k the young lady concerned is most thankful. It appears she thought it was a good idea at the time but after seeing various content she decided otherwise.

I have never seen twitter. Had never heard of it until recently. Not sure I want to be known as a twit! lol
My daughter sayd she checked it out and doesn't like it. She is a myspace brat. I guess I am too old for all of this.Practice makes perfect but only if you practice perfectly!

Might be sad to say but it looks like Computing.net has become my chat portal.

Ditto that sentiment. Or at least if I am known as a twit, I'd like to be at least a witty twit...
Would that make me a twit-wit? Ouch.

or maybe a 'nit - twit'
