Opinion by Charice Wang and Raymond Yu, analysts at ovum
On Monday, the Indian government finally gave the go-ahead for mobile virtual

What would have been the first major consolidation between two social
networking giants has failed to materialise, as Facebook's attempts to woo
Twitter with an all-stock offer fell on deaf ears. Facebook's valuation seems
to have been the sticking point. But with neither company as yet able to
demonstrate that it can make money on a scale that matches its number of users,
