Google's dream of building a Facebook style of social networking site and data collection service has failed, and that is why recently reports were surfacing that it would be turning its attention to Twitter, to put the puzzles together.
Google, according to fortune, announced that it is scaling back its interest on Google+, an interest-based social network that is owned and operated by Google Inc. It can be remembered that four years ago Google launched Google + aiming to create a big social network that like Facebook people may update status, post picture and keep in touch with family. The company envisioned of a social media platform that would link Google's sharing model as well their products and mobile app. However such intention was not maintained and confusion and users' experiences are being hampered in the process of the updates.
That is why according to fortune; "Google's decision to move away from Google+ makes it even more likely that it will buy Twitter." With Google's intention of tapping in to real-time behavioral data from user, the company can surely use the help of Twitter in refining its search results and advertising algorithms.
With such most logical reason in the background, Google cut a deal with Twitter to get access to the social networking sites real-time "firehose" of user data, according to fortune. And such ties between the companies are slowly being felt by users and as it is being highlighted with tweets appearing through Google's search index and result on its One Box display.
However, updates about the said interest surfaced and finally ending the speculations about Google taking over the said social networking site. Despite the said relationship of the two companies and the fact that Twitter is having some concerns about its struggle as an independent public company, Google will still not buy Twitter.
For as reported by businessinsider, Google CEO is not interested with the company said for its not the type it should be taking on. "Larry Page doesn't give a f--k about Twitter." And such line was said to be coming from the best tech reporter in the world, Amir Efrati who according to the said website is plugged into Google.
