Google (GOOG) earlier this year during talks with Twitter informally "floated the idea" of acquiring the social networking website for about $2.5B, according to Business Insider, which cited an executive involved in the talks. Twitter turned down the offer, calling it insulting, the publication added. A Twitter shareholder says that the website also refused a $4B offer about three months ago.
