I wonder why somebody would thumb down a thought that's not pro/anti anyone. That's plain stupid.

The thumb downs should be because the answer to the question is obvious. They're probably due to partisanship though because people can't help but polarize any issue into the proverbial "us" and "them".
But back to the obvious answer... Twitter has become one of the most dominant forms of communication there are. Not only that, or should I say, even more so than that, Twitter has become a marketing powerhouse as mentioned in the article about their advertising revenue. Notice all the hash tags that are inundating the all forms of visual media the websites and television? They're omnipresent. Apple is a marketing expert, and yet somehow their own forays into social networking have met with disappointment. I'd say they're practically salivating at the prospects of a piece of the Twitter pie.
Twitter said nuh uh though most likely due to Apple wanting too much control, regardless of how much money they offered.

That's not apples goal with twitter, and that would b counter productive to apple since they, and google have a very lucrative working relationship. Ur post was stupid, full of hot air, and lacked any kind of intelligence or knowledge of tech business. Ur goal was simply to bash apple... U failed!!!
