That would pretty good actually. I hope they can integrate it into twitter experience, and make it part of their api as well - Shivanand Velmurugan via twhirl
well, they have to get code that works from somewhere. - Slobokan
I think it would be a smart move for them. - Alan Le
I hope not... Summize is great as it is. - Chris Thomson
Considering the email I got from Twitter's help dept. promoted Summize, I'm not surprised. - Erin Kotecki Vest
"I for one welcome our Twitter-Summize overlords." - Joe D'Andrea
Did anyone notice that Summize recently added translation links & language filters? Summize is a VERY well done webapp if you ask me. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Buy Summize? Why don't they just integrate the Summize API into Twitter - Just Kidding - Could be a good thing! - Eric Cedo
One company with no revenue buys another company with no revenue and whose existence depends on the first company? Why couldn't Twitter add the main Summize feature set in a few weeks if they could get their act together? - David Fry
valuations? I'm shorting Summize if this happens... - ryangraves
Summize would be doomed by being bought out... At least right now, they have the option of expanding to other networks such as friend feed, and brightkite, if they really wanted to! - Joel
They have to spend their money on something and they sure as hell aren't spending it on infrastructure at the moment. - Adam Helweh
I was thinking about that ever since I started using Summize... it makes perfect sense... - Manos Matsakis
They'd better buy Oracle technology for scalability! - Eric Sausse
I hope they buy up a few of the best apps that have been developed over the last year. They need to innovate, and it's people outside of Twitter who are developing the coolest stuff. Hopefully those people can help them integrate functionality into the site and bring new ideas! - Hillary Hartley
this is smart for twitter, but generally bad for summize -- although I don't think any of those guys are really high profile and a win like this would work in their favor if they were sick of swinging for the fences. Interesting to see how it plays out. - Tyler Willis
We'll need to think up new animals/concepts to signify the eventual 'Fail'
*I'm thinking of photoshopping up a chalkboard with an incorrect calculation* - Jake Fudge
They should just buy friendfeed instead... - Colin Brumelle
they'll buy a service that does what they claim to be able to do... smart.. - Absalon Isaac Prieto
this makes it interesting and open for someone else to potentially come in a build a summize-like search across the other networks like brightkite, plurk, friendfeed etc. - Brandon Zeuner
