Selling your Identity Stunts your Intelligence

without comments

As men­tioned by Duncan Riley in “Rock­et­boom Founder Puts His Twit­ter Account On Sale”, Andrew Varon Baron is “selling his twit­ter account” as a stunt.

As at post­ing, the bid­ding is at US$510.00

I am not sure how this ID is val­ued, and it seems strange that it has value when decoupled from the per­son selling the name.

Unless you are another Andrew Varon Baron, or are a com­pet­itor to Rock­et­Boom — and in either case Andrew should really just twitter-squatter on his identity.

One never knows where twit­ter IDs are going to be use­ful in the future.

Inter­est­ing, if unin­tel­li­gent, stunt.
