Companies rarely buy other companies for their profits. Most of the time it's a strategic move e.g. Twitter purchasing Tweetdeck to protect itself from aggressive moves by UberMedia

It baffles me how, with the number of investors involved and the huge amount of money on the line, Twitter is making any strategic move other than "how do we get profitable"
