What makes you believe that Twitter isn't doing that? If you're willing to speculate that Google is creating "shadow profiles", why not Twitter?

They may well be doing it, but at this time, I have heard nothing to suggest it. Google, however, is getting shadier by the minute.
It is interesting to think about today's big tech companies and how they make a majority of their money.
Facebook, Google, and Twitter = advertising. Microsoft = software. Apple = hardware.
Of the three companies who make most of their money from advertising, Twitter seems to be the most ethical, although going public might change that (Facebook is creating profiles of non-Facebook users and it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that Google is creating profiles of people who email Gmail users but don't have Google accounts).
