While on my Semi-Vacation (I will share some crazy daring videos soon), I heard that Google was in negotiation to buy Digg.com, in an effort for Google to tap into the social media market (They’re not playing), and I heard that they offered $200 million!! I think that digg is worth a bit more than that.
Then within a week, Google walked off the deal! I wonder why (Again 🙂 )

Twitter is on CNN’s front page again!
So Twitter is down again, and i just found out why:
There is a story about twitter on the front page of CNN, here is the stories link:

And it’s a continued (Part 2) real life story of the American student that was freed from an Egyptian jail because of a one twitter update (Tweet) that he sent right before he went in, the word was “arrested”.
Twitter is becoming more powerful than ever, but because of heavy API calls and the extreme amount of tweets every second, the site goes down almost every other day now.
I suggested to fix that problem, for twitter to have a paid section with more member privilege, kind of like Flickr or Pownce pro membership.
Another idea would be for a big Company like Google or Yahoo to buy twitter!
