GOOG buying Nest & Fitbit is somewhat fitting since lack of support by Chromecast, Fitbit & Nest was when I gave up on Windows Phone. ??

What happens to all the health data if Google buys FitBit? If you are one of the millions who bought one and abondoned it, should probably login and delete it all. https://t.co/WDcDbAXmXr

Google is trying to buy FitBit, in an interesting example of how combining data sets creates new threats users could not anticipate when making a decision to use the original product. Now Google will know which YouTube ad got your heart racing! https://t.co/0ZtGn0oM6A

If Google tries to move forward with a FitBit acquisition, it should be blocked by the government. We shouldn’t be allowing these monopolies to grow any larger.

Being acquired won’t improve FitBit’s product, it will just provide more data to Google. https://t.co/lWJzYSCdEG
At Fitbit's peak today, it was up 41%, reaching a market cap of $1.57 billion.

AlphabetがFitbitに買収のオファーを提示したそう。これを受けて $FIT は30.5%上昇。GoogleはWear OSをFossilなどに提供しているが、自社ではスマートウォッチを出していない。Fitbitの買収が成功すれば、スマートウォッチ市場に進出してAppleと戦うことになる。https://t.co/15ShFao0tC
