This prediction is closed and has been judged.
Google is reportedly in talks to buy Twitter, TechCrunch reports. Twitter turned down an acquisition deal from Facebook last fall.
Presumably, Google would be paying more in cash to acquire the hot microblogging site. Twitter's database and search capabilities of real-time updates would make this an attractive offer for Google.
A deal with Google would be a second for Twitter cofounders Evan Williams and Biz Stone. The pair sold Blogger to Google five years ago.
Prediction: Google announces it is acquiring Twitter by June 30, 2009.

Twitter is Not for Sale! (wink, wink).
Appearing on “The View” Twitter co-founder, Biz Stone, tells Barbara Walters, “No. We are not for sale.” That may be true–for today. But every business is for sale. I wrote more about this here: http://faseidl.com/public/item/231681
Great article, but which one is the best to invest in? ffc.jcv@att.net
Judged. The rumors were blown out of proportion, apparently:
