Twitter couldn't have known when Google+ was going to be released when they negotiated a contract expiry of Jul 2.



Google would have though.


I doubt Google could predict timelines with any accuracy that many months in advance.


I guess I meant that they could have released Google+ to coincide with the end of the contract, having realised that removing Twitter from realtime and replacing it with G+ would give G+ a traffic boost.


Very weird coincidence...
