Example: Google ENGAGE2015, all you will get is the top links for ENGAGE, link to official corporate page, totally boring!
Do exactly the same thing on Twitter, and you will get a much better picture of what is actually happening. Real time photos, real time news on the subject, contextually relevant, organized by the people themselves. Perfect.
Now, Google might want to “borrow” this through a deal with Twitter, but at the same time I am a true believer that ultimately, if Google would want to build a deep integration with search and all of its logic, it would have to acquire Twitter.
Google would certainly have the money, and with Twitter (TWTR) being valued at $24B at yesterday’s close, even on a premium it could be a bargain for Google compared to the $22B or so Facebook paid for Whatsapp.
So, #twoogle?
