Biz, Tech: Could Google or Facebook buy Twitter? It’s a definite possibility.
- $80 million shoved down Twitter’s gullet by Andreessen Horowitz
- valuation A December financing round put Twitter’s valuation around $3.75 billion – not peanuts in any sense but not anywhere near Facebook’s valuation. Back in February 2009, they were worth just $250 million.
- offers? The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google and Facebook have both eyed taking over Twitter – with offers ranging in the $8 billion to $10 billion range – but talks have gone nowhere so far. source
