I think Twitter is up to something big, even full two weeks have not completed from the day of acquisition of popular Twitter app for iPhone – Tweetie, (which is now changed to ‘Twitter for iPhone’ and available for free cost) previous day they again acquired a company – Cloud Hopper, messaging infrastructure company that enables Twitter to connect directly to mobile carrier networks in countries all over, started in early 2008 by Joe and later on joined by Kristin.

They didn’t disclose the terms and conditions in the deal. In the official post Kevin, Twitter mobile partner said:

Over the last eight months we have been working with a startup called Cloudhopper to become one of the highest volume SMS programs in the world—Twitter processes close to a billion SMS tweets per month and that number is growing around the world from Indonesia to Australia, the UK, the US, and beyond.

To help us further grow and scale our SMS service, we are happy to announce the acquisition of Cloudhopper, a messaging infrastructure company that enables Twitter to connect directly to mobile carrier networks in countries all over the planet. Please join us in welcoming both Joe and Kristin to Twitter’s mobile team.

According to me this deal will definitely help Twitter in saving a lot of money which they used to share with their Mobile SMS partners in past; collaboration with Airtel, Telstra. What do you say?
