A high-tech soap opera

MP3 - iTunes

Who will buy Twitter? Is Twitter even for sale? The tech sites were buzzing last week when it was reported Google was in talks to acquire the microblogging service. That is until Kara Swisher, the Wall St. Journal columnist, dispelled the rumors when her sources reported that product partnerships -- maybe. Merger? No.

Kara Swisher says the reaction this rumor of a Twitter-Google merger has gotten will surely be studied at Google. But at the moment, it's pure speculation.

Also on today's show, a couple of readers weigh in on Jon Gordon's story earlier this week when a representative of the Taser company talked about cameras police would wear to record an incident.

(Bob Collins is filling in this week for Jon Gordon.)
