Valleywag is reporting that Apple is interested in purchasing twitter. Twitter, whose executives must feel like the prettiest girls at the prom right now, is the micro-blogging, addictive timewaster that has been courted by the likes of Facebook and possibly even Google.
I'm not so sure that the two companies are on the same page. Twitter is free, open and not profitable (at this point). Apple is secretive, exclusive, proprietary and profitable.
However they are both minimalists, fairly easy to use and have a cult-like following of web-savvy hip people with large disposable incomes. I, personally, am a fan of both twitter and apple (facebook is the PC of social networking in my opinion. Clunky, buggy and everyone has one).
Will this be a good marriage for Apple, Twitter and users?
Or will they even walk down the aisle at all?
I do know they would keep the vows under 140 characters...
