Google missed the social revolution. Google should buy Twitter to address this problem , but Twitter has gotten so huge and self-sufficient that it would take an absolutely monster check to pry it loose. Google may end up buying Twitter anyway, down the road, when Twtter is ready to sell to someone, but by then the acquisition could cost tens of billions of dollars (or nothing, depending on how good a business model Twitter can develop). http://www.businessinsider.com/google-needs-to-buy-foursquare-now-before-its-too-late-2010-10
