There are rumous that Google is seeking to buy Twitter - no confirmations from the principals, but no denials either.
Google in talks to buy Twitter? by Stephen Shankland, Webware (Apr 2)
"Google's origins, core technology, and profits come from search, but Twitter would fit in neatly with the company's somewhat lackluster attempt to become more of a social hub too. Facebook, which attempted to acquire Twitter in 2008, is the exemplar of just how rich a medium the Internet can become for social interactions. Social sites, though, have had a hard time showing they can mean revenue and profits as well. "
