Rocketboom founder sells his Twitter account, soul going up tomorrow
In what seems like a desperate attempt to drum up Publicity Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron has put his Twitter username up for sale.
This is possibly the lamest attempt at a publicity drum up I have ever seen, why would anyone want to buy the guys name.
If a user had an interesting name for sale like jmarrington maybe it would be worth a few bucks but for this not me.

If the practice picks up steam, I wonder whether Twitter itself will weigh in on the concept of selling accounts. A TOS adjustment might be called for.
Even though it might considered be a lame publicity stunt, it’s working isn’t it? A huge number of people are linking to the account and linking to Rocketboom.com.
Also, I’ve got the Twitter username “x” and I’ve had several people offer me $100 for it, although I’m not especially inclined to sell it.
