Google has a short message for those wondering whether the search giant will buy micro-blogging site Twitter: "unlikely." That was Google CEO Eric Schmidt's response Friday when queried on the topic during a wide-ranging interview with journalist Charlie Rose.
Rose didn't press Schmidt for more perspective on the micro-blogging site. But earlier in the week during an on-stage chat at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in San Francisco, Schmidt called Twitter a "poor man's" e-mail system. "They have aspects of an e-mail system, but they do not have a full offering," he said at the conference.
"Twitter's success is wonderful and it shows you that there are many, many ways to reach and communicate, especially if you are willing to do so publicly," he said that day while touting the success of Google's instant messaging system.
