They will proceed as usual - e.g. remedy technical problems and then start monetizing Twitter by PPC advertising. However the price is a bit high. At this price they could have bought Facebook.

The recent data access deals with Bihoo (or is it Yahing?) and G may push any deal back but with the advent of "Google Social" and with the full release of "Google Wave" not too far away, G may not need to make an acquisition...just find/present the results in a more convenient, sortable way. And depend upon everyone's Google "habit". We'll all be watching with interest...
