So in my early morning hussle checking emails and what not, I was turned on to a post on Shoemoney.com talking about a man selling his Twitter account. Now come on people.. Twitter is handy and trendy. But selling your account? Things have gotten out of control.

So I followed the link and checked out the auction on ebay. Low and behold its current sitting at $1200. The big deal is this guy has 1400 followers. So could we label every user is worth one dollar on ebay? What would happen if i had 14000 followers? So as it stands my account is worth 17$! Alright time to sell! How many of the followers will the new owner of the account have. He obviously is going to lose a considerable amount just by not being the updater. Everyone linked to the account is most likely going to get spammed with crap and leave. I’ll be really interested to hear the “success” story of this account once it changes hands.

Whats worse is that this method of having accounts is going to eventually get raped by the internet community. People will create thousands of false accounts with posts and sell those online. Its not hard or even expensive to spend time to create accounts and posts on twitter. Those people will scam the market with poor quality accounts. Sounds like the old days of selling MySpace accounts with thousands of friends. Well time to watch how this disaster turns out.
