If the future of @twitter is an information network, then an acquisition by @google makes sense for all parties involved (most importantly, consumers).
Here are four reasons why:
- Google has organized the world’s information digitally, while Twitter has developed a superior method of delivering that information.
- Google’s mobile adoption would significantly boost Twitter’s global penetration.
