Why do big companies feel the need to buy little companies? Jesus let Twitter be so it can grow on it's own and prove that it's not some media-hyped flop that's worthless outside of its niche.

actually I think you are talking about jaiku,and they open sourced it, and sent it to the appspot servers, so its basically community updated now.

That, and they know that by the time the market gets better, people will have forgotten about Twitter.Google is smart, and they don't waste their money on lame trends.
