Twitter Co-Founders Say Site Not for Sale

by Tim Stevens on May 7, 2009 at 10:26 AM

Twitter Co-Founders Say Site Not for SaleThe Internet is definitely hopped up on a Twitter high at the moment, and, now that Oprah is included, many say the site has reached its high-water mark. It seems that with everyone and their mother (near-literally) flooding Twitter, the site will soon lose its appeal to the early adopters and tech-savvy folks that made first made it a hit. From there, we'd think, the site's popularity could only foresee a long, slow slide to the bottom. Despite all that, though, the site's founders are saying that Twitter is absolutely not for sale.

Biz Stone and Evan Williams, creators of the site, appeared on 'The View' yesterday to talk Twitter with Barbara Walters and co. Rumors were swirling about a number of companies wanting to buy up the king of microblogging sites, but, when asked about them, Stone said: "No. We are not for sale." This flies in the face of numerous recent reports about Apple being in the final stages of designing a $700 million takeover of the site. Our advice? Take the money and run, sons.
