Blodgett Says Google Should Acquire Twitter

Blodgett is hawking a Google buy of Twitter for $1B, for the obvious strategic reasons of blocking Facebook/Friendfeed. He also points out that Google could straighten out and accelerate Twitter scaling in a big way. I bet the price tag will be more like $2B though, if such a deal comes together, as I predicted at the start of the year.

Imagine a twitteresque social flow as a core aspect of a future web-aware OS? Google is in the best place to develop that. (With my help, of course.)

I like his cautionary note, at the end of the piece:

We do have one caveat, though. If Google is going to screw up Twitter the way it screws up most of its acquisitions, it shouldn’t bother.

Snap.
