You must have heard the rumours:

“Google is buying Twitter, please retweet”

“No they’re not, Apple is, pls RT”

Well, according to Business Insider, co-founder Biz Stone was on US programme ‘The View’ yesterday and emphatically stated “We are not for sale”.

With the big boys allegedly waiting to pounce, in my mind it can only be a matter of time before they have to monetise Twitter somehow – don’t forget that there are investors waiting for a return on their investment – and I don’t think the Adwords style ads that are showing on profiles at the moment is the final answer.
