The Guy Behind The Qwikster Twitter Account Realizes What He Has, Wants A Mountain Of Cash
Last night, Jason went to bed a normal man, with a normal Twitter account (albeit one with a weed-smoking Elmo as the avatar), and a few dozen followers.This morning, Jason woke up to an inbox full of messages, thousands of new followers, and wants to sell his account for many thousands of dollars.As we chronicled last night, Netflix made a rather fundamental mistake in launching their new spin-off brand, Qwikster: they didn't make sure they had the name locked down on all of the big social networks before making the announcement. As Jason's luck had it, he had long owned the @Qwikster handle. He's willing to part with it he just wants to make sure he'll "be making bank" first.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/oVPl4DRtkjU/
