Tough to say whether or not this would be a good or bad thing overall, but I do think it makes a lot of sense. Twitter's obviously still on the rise and Google could really jumpstart its growth into the mainstream. Which, again, may or may not be a good thing.

Hmmm..Good Idea. Its a rocking news that Google is going to buy twitter. But according to me Twitter should stay alone. There is no need to do any partnership like things..alone you are rocking..

I pray Google does not buy Twitter. Twitter is the one true chance at breaking us from the stodgy static world Google represents.
I look at Google today as semi-relevant. Half the results at top spot are gamed or SEO'ed into that spot.
Not Google's fault mind you really.

I consider Twitter the truth engine. When you want an opinion just look for opinions and you get dozens in a minute.

If Google owned Twitter the SERPs gamers would break it down in no time, who would blame them for trying.

Google/Yahoo/ MSFT/ IAC/ AOL/Facebook please stay away from Twitter.

Not sure about the prospects of Twitter being bought, but imho a partnership deal with Google would be highly viable and mutually beneficial. It would provide Google with valuable data and inventory, and Twitter - with much needed revenue. And talking of data and metrics: hardly anyone can analyze (and turn into $$) the Twitter data better than Google, the world's largest BI company.

I never even heard of Jaiku before this post, which shows how productive it was in the USA.

The real answer is: Twitter should buy Google. The sad reality is that Google is too expensive for anyone to buy. But really, is creativity still on their side ?

All the 3rd part apps seem to be making $ off Twitter. The decent paid iPhone apps have generated some cash and Twitteriffic offers a free ad-supported desk top app as well as a paid version.

As for what Twitter could do as a business model...not sure unless they charge for API usage...
