Just few days ago was - when the voice search was enabled by Google and Twitter for the Egyptians and now we see that there have been a lot of talks in getting the 140 character client to be overtaken by the Internet giants like Google and Facebook. The overall valuation of the company bogs down to $10 billion and makes sense in terms of the users who log in on to the website which invariably comes to 190 Million. Now, the very question of Twitter being the Microblogging giant of the world and it being the most expensive acquisitions to be due of all times.
Google's proposition:
Being positioned as the web search giant of the world, the extent at which the information has been transmitted is gross. In order to get the saturation out, they also had introduced "Google Instant" few months ago which also made the optimization world go hay wire. Google, time and again has shown interest and henceforth acquired brilliant and innovative startups and well established companies as well. This just could be the next big thing for them
Facebook's proposition:
The analytics company say that they've just overtaken Google by it's number of visits for it's websites - makes them aggregate winner of all times. Apart from that, having a base of 600+ Million users also makes them the premier contender to buy the microblogging client - in term serving a lot of things. Although there is a paradigm shift in perceptions of the people who see both the sites Facebook and Twitter as Social Networking websites, there is a thought given over they being different. Facebook hasn't yet shown any signals of acquiring any small or medium sized company. So, it will be an eye-raiser as far as the Facebooker's are concerned.
Both the companies have denied the buyout as of now, but the fact of the matter is - someone will have to take a bold step in order to make this buyout before Twitter values itself something dramatically out of reach kinda amount. It will also
allow the acquired company to sustain, grow and in the competitive web market. This might be the boldest decisions taken in the history of Internet fraternity.- Pratik
