Comments on: Oh, dear, here come the 'Facebook to buy Twitter' rumors

Web 2.0 conference organizer John Battelle decides to mess with everyone's head by suggesting Twitter is "just a feature" and perhaps Facebook could consider acquiring it.

While this may be just a rumor I would welcome it. Spreading out my social community like this is killing me. However, I wouldn't want to see a loss of what Twitter brings to the new media community. It's the best RSS/news reader out there ;-).

I hope it happens.

Really, I wouldn't mind if most of *Facebook* went away and became lean like Twitter.

what if facebook just started making more of their content public? right now, everything is kept behind closed door. present a public page for user updates and you have a twitter bigger than twitter.

Better integration would be nice: My Twitter posts update my Facebook status, but then I get replies on both Twitter and Facebook.

I'd rather see Twitter stay separate, though, with just better connections.

I wrote about facebook possibly buying twitter a few weeks back. ;)

Cheers!
