Speculation Grows About Possible Salesforce Bid for Twitter
Salesforce.com and Twitter didn't comment Friday about news reports that Salesforce.com is in the early stages of mounting a takeover bid for Twitter. A tweet from Salesforce Chief Digital Evangelist Vala Afshar posed reasons why Twitter is an attractive target for purchase. Afshar later clarified that his tweet reflected his personal views rather than Salesforce's official position. Twitter stock closed Friday up 21 percent to $22.62.
