Twitter Cofounder Talks Again About Acquisitions
November 24, 2009, 9:12 amThere's no need to start refreshing the Twitter Blog every five seconds; it doesn't sound like any pens are poised over paper at the moment. However, Biz Stone has made some statements concerning acquisitions that point to more of them taking place in the future.
"That is something we are definitely interested in," Stone said at a press conference in Israel, according to Steven Scheer. He then referenced Summize, continuing, "We made an acquisition last year that turned out to be an outstandingly good decision."
And Stone also added, "As our attention is grabbed by some of these developers, we will take a hard look at them."
Now (and/or in the next few months) might be a good time for Twitter to make acquisitions, considering that its bank accounts are fairly full and the economy remains on shaky ground. Critics might grumble if Twitter spends money without first starting to make it - as always, monetization remains a concern - but there are other things, like iffy growth and uptime figures, to consider.
We'll keep an eye on the situation, then. Just don't place a bet on anything occurring during what's normally a rather slow news season.
