It is possible that you don’t own a Twitter account and even if you do, you don’t tweet often. With more and more inactive users like yourself, you can be sure Twitter does not earn a lot. So now the company is up for sale and it is anxiously seeking buyers.
Recently Google and Disney were contacted to see if the fading social network is a potential port for investment….their responses were not good. So automatically, Twitter share prices slumped by 9 percent. (No one will invest a lot in what Google and Disney refused already).
Saleforce, a company which was also contacted, however, reflects a strong probability in purchasing Twitter. Its CEO Marc Benioff which is also an active Twitter user may have exposed his intentions a little:
“When it comes to Twitter you have to look it like this,” said Benioff on CNBC. “We look at everything, you name it we had a look at it. It’s in our interest to look at everything. We have to go deep on everything. We have to understand what is possible for our shareholders and what isn’t.”
“It’s a great product,” Benioff also said. “It’s an exciting product, but obviously the business has a lot of challenges, very severe challenges and all I can do is one thing, is just wish my good friend [Twitter’s CEO] Jack Dorsey well.”
Maybe Nigerians should invest in Twitter. Who knows maybe, the microblogging platform may gain the attention of millions of users again.
