True. Can you imagine if Twitter had accepted Google's offer? That was pre-Google+. That would have had a big impact on Google's strategy, and their response to the ascension of Facebook. I think Twitter would be very different now if Google bought it, probably for the worse.
I agree it would be worse. But I'm sort of wondering how Twitter is going to make itself worse by itself, -It just IPOed for over 15 billion valuation and has never turned a profit? Don't get me wrong, I think they'll make money, but they won't be able to monetize for their valuation and look the same.
