Is Yahoo! going to buy Twitter?
Given that Y! will probably soon be part of Microsoft, it may not be such a good tip any more, but I noticed that in the last 30 days, I have been getting an inordinate amount of people from my former company (Yahoo!) signing up for Twitter and telling me that they are “following me”.
This happened 3 times before in the last 2 years - where I saw a big surge in people from my Yahoo! network asking me to join their “network” - and especially people you would not have expected to be interested in social networks - once for Flickr, then for del.icio.us and finally for Facebook. First 2 were bought by Yahoo!, and a billion dollar offer was made for the last one.
Is this the last gasp of Yahoo!’s bid to stay independent? Twitter????? (next may be justin.tv.
