I was thinking about the news story the other month where facebook offered twitter $500 million in stock and twitter turned it down.... Didnt youtube get teh same offer from google way back?

How Facebook nearly bought Twitter - Yahoo! News UK

I was playing with some stats today and thought - how big is twitter in the social pond to command a $500 million offer...

SnapShot of facebook.com (rank #11), twitter.com (#395), myspace.com (#9) - Compete

Looks pretty small to me? But its still approx 5 million uniques?

And its still bigger than friendfeed.

Makes me think the micro blog could still be wide open :-)
