Can you imagine what a fail it would have been, had Gore actually succeeded?
Via CNN Money:
Al Gore may not have invented the Internet, but he did try to buy one of its most popular social networks.
The former vice president told Bloomberg Television on Thursday that he and former Current TV co-founder Joel Hyatt tried to buy Twitter.
Gore’s interest in purchasing Twitter was first reported by The New York Times’ Nick Bilton in his just-released book “Hatching Twitter.”
In the book, Bilton described a drunken scene at the St. Regis hotel in San Francisco in 2009, during which Gore met with Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone, pouring “copious amounts of wine and Patron tequila.”
