Apple interested in buying Twitter?
Twitter is every bit as big a phenomenon as the iPhone itself, and almost every developer now uses the micro blogging service to make announcements on everything from new games to imminent updates.
The runaway success of Twitter has caught the attention of a great many computer companies, and an insider now suggests Cupertino has joined the fray. Negotiations have apparently begun at an incredible $700 million (around £460 million in real money) to land access to the web services 25 million users.
Quite what plans Apple could have for a service like Twitter - assuming it doesnt tear it down and rebuild it into iTunes, or some such crazy notion - hasnt been revealed, but its not difficult to see how closely related the iPhone and Twitter have already become.
