| Upon hearing this news (via Twitter, of course, I don't watch The View ;-) I had to chuckle because it reminded me of an old Saturday Night Live skit.  In the skit, Donald and Ivana Trump were exchanging gifts. First the couple had a good laugh about how they had both, independently decided to wrap each other's gift in sable fur. Donald's gift to his wife was a pair of extremely ornate, extremely large, hand made wooden doors many centuries old. As they are being unwrapped, he explained how he saw them on an ancient cathedral during a recent business trip through Europe and how he tracked down the Father in charge to inquire about a price.
"These doors a priceless, irreplaceable, historical artifacts and are not for sale at any price," explained the Father. But Donald just smiles, explaining to Ivana how he quickly understood, "That was just code for 'It's gonna cost ya!'" So, Twitter may not be for sale. At least not to Apple, today. At least not under the proposed term sheet. Maybe Twitter will never be sold and it will continue to grow into the next Microsoft, or Google, or beyond. Maybe. But every business is for sale if somebody wants to buy it badly enough. |
