Another day, another speculation about what Yahoo should buy – or vice versa.

This morning, former interim Yahoo CEO Ross Levinsohn was on CNBC to suggest that Twitter should buy the core Yahoo business after Yahoo s Asian assets are sold.

If you put Twitter and Yahoo together, it would be the most powerful force in the media universe, said Levinsohn, calling his suggested deal a perfect match. Levinsohn was Yahoo s interim chief for several months before the board tapped Google s Marissa Mayer in 2012.

This season has been a busy one for matchmakers and prognosticators with visions of Yahoo s future marriage prospects. Adding to the perennial AOL -Yahoo merger predictions have been cable companies, such as CNN or Scripps Networks.
