“Google Inc. may be in talks to buy Internet startup Twitter, the free micro-blogging service that allows people to send short text messages to a network of friends, the TechCrunch Website said late Thursday,” Vikram S. Subhedar reports for Reuters.
“TechCrunch’s article by Michael Arrington said the two companies are also considering working together on a Google real-time search engine,” Subhedar reports. “Google would pay for Twitter in cash or stock or a combination of the two, the Website reported.”
