“Google can buy Twitter”! This speculation is going around on the Blogsphere.

Two prominent technology news blogs clashed on Friday morning over a report one of them issued that said Google Inc may try to buy Internet start-up Twitter.

according to  three unnamed sources, Google would pay for Twitter in cash, stock or a combination of the two.

The companies are also considering working together on a Google real-time search engine.

Another blog said the story was inaccurate, citing “a number of sources.”

“In fact, Twitter and Google have simply been engaged in ‘some product-related discussions,’ according to one source,” the blog said.

Twitter is a service that allows people to send short text messages to a network of friends. Its popularity is growing, particularly among journalists looking for new ways to get people to read their news and commentary.

The San Francisco, California-based company has yet to make any money. That has not stopped the technology world from speculating on who will scoop up the company, though co-founder Biz Stone told Reuters in March that it is not considering a merger or a buyout.

Lets see what happens
