Selling your Identity Stunts your Intelligence

By Nick Hodge | April 14, 2008

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.
