Twitter evaluating potential acquisition

Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) is evaluating a potential acquisition.

The news came accidentally, when Twitter CFO Anthony Noto inadvertently tweeted his support for the particular deal. The tweet was apparently intended as a private message.

"I still think we should buy them," Noto wrote. "He is on your schedule for Dec 15 or 16 -- we will need to sell him. I have a plan."

The identity and details of the company Noto was referring to is not known.

The tweet itself was removed, but several news organizations and blogs published screenshots of the message.
