I thought Google was interested in buying Twitter, wouldn't this be considered a conflict of interests?

just like anybody else...

HuffPo likes sensationalism. It gets sickening after a while. I don't even read these stupid articles, especially if I have to click to read more than a paragraph (as above).

A rooster clucks defiance.

I just about to ask what they going to pay him with, about earning I think the answer is no, and they have no idea how make money. Apart from charging, which i don't think would work.
