Twitter might be in talks to acquire Shots, the selfie app backed by Justin Bieber

Yesterday afternoon, Twitter’s CFO accidentally publicly tweeted a message that was apparently supposed to be private, indicating that the social network was interesting in buying out an undisclosed company. Today details from CNBC indicate that the company in question might be Shots, a selfie-focused social photo app that got funding from pop star Justin Bieber.

It would make sense for Twitter to buy out an app that seems to have a similar target user base, but perhaps the company should take a little time to focus on salvaging its underdeveloped Mac application instead?
