Google might be coming along at just the right moment. I never warmed up to Twitter, but it looks to be very popular and perhaps there is some financial potential?

Let's not fool ourselves. Google is less of a search engine than it is a media company (and the largest media company in the world at that). They've gone way past search and content ads to offer newspaper, tv and radio ads. The most valuable asset to a media company (other than the channels on which to sell advertising), is information on consumers, industries, markets, brands, trends, .... INFORMATION. This allows a company like Google to forecast the future and accurately mold their business objectives around "what will be." That is why they purchased companies like Urchin and offered it as Google Analytics for free (for those of you who don't know, you have to opt out of your site's analytics being aggregated and used by Google for research). Twitter would be just one more outlet for them to mine information on trends.

As for Google buying Twitter, they likely aren't interested in a purchase. A partnership would make perfect sense though. And don't worry, there won't be adsense anywhere.
