VentureBeat: Google has 45 accounts on Twitter: why not just buy them?

    Google is becoming evil if not already. Just what they said they never wanted to do. Tsk.

    Google is a huge company. Different teams and different departments will have different reasons to start a Twitter account. There's nothing in this post that isn't completely subjective and just plain lame.

    Because 45 twitter accounts are free?

    And Microsoft has 65 Twitter accounts - likely more, since I know of a few that aren't on this list - so should they just buy Twitter as well?

    Big companies love to pile up the accounts, it appears (and not just Google).

    Why Google is in love with Twitter? Does Google is interested in buying Twitter to expand its real time search..??

    Google buying Twitter would be a huge mistake. Aside from signing up millions of geeks, what has Twitter really delivered. Yes, kudos to Twitter for creating a buzz about the service. But, really, there is no business model and this may go down in history as a top 5 fad

    I liked your comment about data liberation.

    Google should give the world free anonymized top search terms data in real-time.
