Twitter or Disney??

Fairly new to the forums, but I got to ask one question. What would make more buying sense for Apple buying Twitter or buying Disney?? I feel imo it would make more sense to me to buy Disney, I mean what would Apple do with Twitter?? sit on it until someone else wants to buy it and then hike up the price and maybe make more  money??

Welcome to the forums!

Disney for sure. Apple has shown that they want to get into the entertainment business lately, and all their efforts so far have been middling to abysmal. I wouldn't expect it to happen though, Disney doesn't really need Apple right now, and the two already have a close enough working relationship thanks to Jobs. There is always the possibility Apple could just throw money bags at Disney in a way that would make it irresponsible for them to refuse, but I don't see that happening.

Twitter is the opposite story. I can see why they would want someone like Apple to back them, but I don't think Apple has any interest in doing so. I don't think they would know what to do with it. They wouldn't buy twitter to sit on it and resell it, that's not their M.O.

If Apple bought Twitter, they’d integrate it with iMessage and finally get rid of that stupid character limit. I have no idea why they want to get into entertainment (other than the theory that Jobs died before he could force the content creators to sign onto the iTunes system he had in the works to destroy cable and satellite providers and which Cook hasn’t bothered to push anymore), but if that’s what they’re after Disney would do it. Seems a bit expensive and unnecessary for them, though.
