And it turns out rumor that Facebook wanted to buy a Twitter ...
read that Facebook had offered $ 500 million, including cash and stock for the purchase of Twitter and have been negotiating over 3 weeks.
The reasons why it has not closed the deal appears that "officially" attributed to the financial offer was not attractive (the valuation of the company on which it is estimated as the share price is very high and therefore unrealistic), but think the reason is that "a strong belief in Twitter Twitter "... according to one person close to twitter " There Is a strong feeling That There Is Still an Opportunity to blow this thing out ."
Honestly, I think it's great that the directors of a company valued at 98 million dollars (is the assessment made in the last round of funding invested in the company when Jeff Bezos and Spark Cpital ) believe in your project and therefore, not sell you the company (against the advice of many who believe that the way to monetize the investment in Twitter is selling the company). But I hope they are very clear on this step ... it seems increasingly clear that without a sustainable revenue model, Twitter will not stand for long on the basis of the expectation of future business.
Although I still would not rule out the operation with Facebook (and do not say because I have a crystal ball or they have very well informed sources.) I think Facebook needs to give a boost to its services, has established a model community and grows as users, but think hat would happen if q nanoblogging system like Twitter end up in another great community ... perhaps this is the real reason of the operation, do not you apreço?
