It was declined becouse 80% was on stock and we all know about facebook shady valuation maybe 500 m in facebook stock is not 500 m in real life. I will prefer twitter to be independent if not news corp and google are my top choices. Twitter did not declined the facebook deal becouse it was to low.

Twitter has a fraction of # of users compared to MySpace in 2005 for the same price. @Twitter: Sell, sell, sell!

We may be surprised...or Facebook will simply increase its offer to deal with any valuation concerns Twitter may have. :) Rob,

I thought about major newspapers like NYT, but I just don't think they can afford them. I also struggle trying to find benefits for the newspapers.
