Twitter for sale? Flies on the Stock exchange The interest of Google and Salesforce – Corriere della Sera

Twitter flies on the Stock exchange, with a rise of 23% to 22,89 dollars, to Wall Street about the rumors of a possible sale. According to the Cnbc, the social network founded and led by Jack Dorsey, is reportedly in discussions with several companies in the Silicon Valley, including the Alphabet, the mother house of Google, and Saleforce.com, and could receive a formal offer, even if the passage of the hand would not be imminent. Editable had tried to buy LinkedIn in the past few months, sparking a bidding war to rise with Microsoft, from which he was defeated. To strengthen the interest of the company, of San Francisco, founded and led by Marc Benioff, mark a tweet of Afshar, manager Editable. “Why Twitter? Democratizes intelligence and a place to promote others,” said Afshar, stating, however, that his own personal considerations.

The sale of Twitter could represent the turning point expected by the investors disappointed not only from the performance in the Bag, where the title in the last year has lost 30% until Thursday, but also from the inability to accelerate growth, which on the contrary continues to decline. And little have served the innovations introduced by Dorsey, returned to the command of the group in 2015, to reverse l to the trend. Among the more recent was the possibility of overcoming the limit of 140 characters in tweets, while last week Twitter has transmitted the first sports event in live streaming, a match of the National Football League (New York Jets against the Buffalo Bills), which has gathered an average audience of 243 thousand viewers per minute. And now the californian group has plans to stream live debates for the race to the american presidential election.

A pass of the hand is the alternative. Twitter works for several weeks with the american commercial bank Goldman Sachs to explore a number of media companies global, potentially interested in the acquisition of the company, valued at around 16 billion dollars.
