Twitter finance chief Anthony Noto has stoked speculations by erroneously tweeting a message that he intended to send privately. The message talks about a potential acquisition by Twitter.

Noto's message said, "I still think we should buy them. He is on your schedule for Dec 15 or 16 -- we will need to sell him. I have a plan," reported the CNN.

Although Noto trashed it quickly but the tweet, whose screenshots were captured by a few sharp-eyed observers, has set off a wave of speculations as to which company was Noto targeting.
