• Vague M&A rumors have propelled Twitter (TWTR - $33.6B market cap) above $52. Barron's reports
hearing of chatter that two companies have approached Twitter with "serious" interest.
• Meanwhile, Twitter is updating its Quote Tweet button to let users add up to 116 characters to a post that's
being retweeted and replied to. Until now, quoted text had to be included within a post, thus counting
towards a 140-character limit. The feature is initially rolling out to iPhone and Web users; Android support
will arrive later.
• Twitter rallied in January on rumors Carl Icahn had taken a stake; Icahn denied them soon afterwards.
25.9M shares were shorted as of March 13.
