New York: Internet search giant Google may be looking to buy Twitter, says a report. Twitter is a popular micro-blogging service provider.
The report on the website TechCrunch, quoting a source said, “The acquisition discussions are still (at) fairly early stage.”
“The two companies (Google and Twitter) are also considering working together on a Google real time search engine. The discussions between the companies are confirmed,” the website added.
Twitter offers micro-blogging which allows users to send short text messages, among others, on various multimedia platforms.
The report said if the deal would happen, Google would be paying in cash or publicly valued stock.
Citing two separate people close to the negotiations TechCrunch said, “We don’t know the price but can assume its well, well north of the $250 million valuation that they saw in their recent funding.”
A few months ago, Twitter had turned down a buyout offer from Facebook.
