So I read online that Google is thinking about buying Twitter..

I read online that Steve Jobs is secretly alive and is actually still pulling the strings at Apple. Doesn't make it any more true.

If they are it's only so they can shut down the Windows phone app.

I don't think Twitter is so poor so they going to sell their assent to Google.

And if they did how long Google + alive?

I've thought about buying Twitter. Doesn't mean it's going to happen though.

Twitter's market cap is $33 billion right now. For investors to go through with it, Google would have to pay at least $40 billion for it. Google is not going to spend 2/3 of its cash (especially considering most of it is overseas and can't be brought into the US without paying taxes) for Twitter. I can't see it happening.

Back in January when this news was circulating, precisely this point was the argument against the likelihood of the purchase happening. I doubt whether much has changed since then.

The biggest question is why? What would they do with Twitter that Twitter isn't already doing? I don't think Google has any idea what to do with a social network...

Google+ to me became Google-

Social networks will eventually cause mental instability and even more psychosis by internet overload.

I don't see any activity on Google+ much at all. It's the non-social social network.

I've only tried it once and really didn't like it, no one really seems to use it out of my family and friends anyway.

Google+ does have some good concepts, such as the Circles. But, Facebook was already the automatic go to for social networking. It came too late, after a heavyweight was already firmly established. (Hey, where have we seen that before? )

Google is awful to me and I'd hate it if this is true because I actively use twitter and I make it my business to use nothing of Google except YouTube and even then I limit myself.
