Google In Talks To Acquire Twitter

Author itzco | 03.04.2009 | Category world news

Here is a rumor that is certainly changing the internet world: Google is in late stage negotiations to acquire Twitter. The prices it is not known but it can be imagine in a $250 million valuation that they saw in their recent funding.

earth hour

It looks like Earth hour last night March 28th 2009 8:30 Local time was a huge success! according to earth hour supporters. WWF called the event, which began in Australia in 2007 and grew last year to 400 cities worldwide, “the world’s first-ever global vote about the future of our planet.” According to news sources Vancouvers Earth hour decreased electricity use during that hour by 16%, other citys where as low as 1% less electricity during that hour (coincidence?), pretty lame seeming that when I looked outside during that hour I could see all my neighbors with their lights on while I powered my apartment with a bunch of candles.. I hope to see more participation next year.
