[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 507441, member: 259515"] The creator of the popular online video show, Rocketboom, has announced that he will sell his [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160229562828"]Twitter account on eBay[/URL] to the highest bidder. Andrew Baron, the mastermind behind the extremely popular Rocketboom online news show announced late last week that he wanted to find out how much a [URL="http://twitter.com/andrewbaron"]Twitter account[/URL] with more than 1,500 followers was worth and decided to sell the account on eBay. [B]Utilise the medium[/B] “I really love my Twitter account but I feel like I haven’t been using it the way I want to,” Baron said on his website.* “Quite honestly, I feel sorry for all of my followers because they wind up with my tweets in their timelines and I haven’t been able to utilise the medium the way I want to.” “I also participate in another Twitter account over on Rocketboom so I’m thinking I’ll post more over there and start up a new account to do what I want to do next.” [B]Dangerous precedent[/B] Some Twitter users have said that Baron’s publicity stunt sets a [URL="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/is-your-community-for-sale/"]dangerous precedent[/URL] that could create serious privacy issues and impact the value of the mico-blogging tool itself if not handled properly. Regardless, Baron is moving forward with the auction and at the time of this posting, the current bid is at a whopping $1,125 (£550).
