TechCrunch notes that Eric Schmidt said on TV that he's unlikely to buy twitter (go to min 8'00 on the below video)...Actually unlikely to buy nothing in the short term and because the prices are too high.
Let's decode.
Schmidt is in one of the most popular TV show: he would certainly not declare anything about acquisition there, specially if it is going to happen soon. Whatever the reason. Note also that he does not mention Google is not interested. "Unlikely" means, this is an option.
Then another surprising declaration "prices are too high". We are precisely in a period where prices are going to be as cheap as can, and acquisitions are going to be accelerated because the darwinian process is doing his job in the startup jungle.
I already said it. Google will buy Twitter. This acquisition makes total sense. I would even say it is necessary
The way i understand Eric Schmidt declarations: "We want to buy Twitter but it's too expensive for now, We are still negotiating"
