I bet Google did try to acquire Twitter instead, or maybe they didn't want to upset the fan base. in fact it was probably a smarter move to go with Jaiku; they don't want to convert the users to Google-ites, they want to work with, expand, and consume a new service. People probably won't even remember the word Jaiku, it'll become Google Status or something, and that's what they want. They don't want people to think of it as the thing that used to be Twitter, they want people to think of it as the thing Google acquired and improved on. Oh, wow, surprise.
