Conflicting reports emerged Friday about Google Inc's growing interest in acquirinng interest in acquring or partnering with Twitter INC , a wildly popular but relatively unformed Internet service that enables messages .
The reports immediately raised questions about wheather cash rich Google intends to make another speculative purchase on par with its $ 1.65 billion acquisitions of another painfully young but popular service , YouTube , nearly three years ago .
Google continues to seek out ways to use YouTube to pull in Substantial amoount of revenue ., though it's indicated that it isn't satisfied with results .
Google says little ,
The Silucon Valley Web Site TechChruch reported Friday morning that Google may be negotiating to acquire Twitter .
Twitter co founder Biz Stone responded on his own Web Site writing only that " It should come as no surprise that Twitter engages in discusssions with other companies regularly and on a variety of subjects "
A Google spokesman said the company does not " comment on the rumor or speculations ". However , the All-thingsD Web site pointed to a less dramatic , but perhaps more logical outcome ; that Googlr and Twitter are pondering further business tie-ups .
AllthingsD pointed to a recent Advrstising Age story describing a service Google is now offering that allows companies to stream their marking via Twitter messages , called Tweets , aacross Googles advertising network .
Twitter limits ysers tweets to 140 charters or less . Google shares rose more than 1 percent Froday to $ 368.35
