Apple ready to invest several hundred million in Twitter?

This is the
New York Times, regularly well informed when speaking
from Apple, which shares an indiscretion according to whichApple would be
interested in a significant participation in the social network
Twitter
.

We know that the Ping social network initiative launched by Apple has not
brought the expected results and Apple could use part of its
war chest to invest in a network which is nowwell established in iOS cmme on
could see it in this tutorial
and even in the recentOS X Moutain
Lion
.

The amount announced would beseveral hundred million
dollars
(on a war chest of 117 billion…) and the
discussions that have taken place in recent months are currently stopped.
However, in this area, nothing is ever really finished and Tim Cook
recently indicated that if Apple did not need to have a network
social, on the other hand Apple had to “be” social (“Apple doesn’t have to own a
social network,” “But does Apple need to be social? Yes.” )

In any case,Appleseems to be in a phase
investment ifwe judge by
yesterday's announcement seen here
and this is important while the enemy Google has
recently grabbed an important news from the Mac world with Sparrow.

It remains to be seen if a stake is finalized, whether it will be
scope and impact for us users…Ideas or wishes
?
