Near the bottom of the lite.twitter.com page it states "Twitter Lite...developed in partnership with Google."
Is this the beginning of a partnership test with google as a sort of test to see how viable twitter would be to be acquired by google? Sort of like a few first dates before considering "corporate marriage"? Hmmm...perhaps my conspiracy theorist cap is on too tight. I wouldn't say that I'm a fan of either of the twitter or G+ platforms, but i can see some business rationale for google absorbing and continuing to run twitter - both the company and the platform. Ah, well.
