I don’t remember which StumbleUpon friend sent me this link yesterday: Google ‘falling behind Twitter’ – maybe Chris Cree? Or was it Rob? My first reaction was to laugh: Google admits that it “has been losing out to Twitter in the race to meet web user’s demand for real-time information”(?!) I mean, come on Google, wasn’t Twitter a poor man’s email?

Not long ago I wrote at Everything PR about Google’s Foul PR Game. I noted there:

I am sure, as we speak, that Google actually considers buying Twitter and considers it carefully. Confirmed or not, rumors of a purchase are probably well founded. Discussing a possible collaboration in search is just smoke they throw in our eyes. Google cannot afford to lose Twitter, but on the other hand, they are probably not able to buy it, due to the latest “anti-trust” developments.

But after reading Google ‘falling behind Twitter’ it all became clear: Google is lower than a snake’s belly. They were always interested in Twitter. They said for so long that they are not afraid of it, that they do not consider it competition, etc, just to throw smoke in our eyes. True, they cannot buy, but who says that they didn’t already close a deal “under the table”

The secret love relationship between Twitter and Google will soon be confirmed. Sure Twitter wouldn’t sell to Facebook and Apple. Sure Twitter would say “we are not for sale” – after all, they already sold their soul to the devil (and we all know what happens to those who do that). Remember that you read it here first.
