I think it’s ridiculous how many unused/dead Twitter and Instagram accounts there are sitting useless. Twitter talked about putting some back into circulation but are holding back until they have a way to make sure history isn’t erased for families or people that want to keep it. I get the inactive accounts but what about the accounts with less than 5 posts and no posts in the last 5. That’s a never used account and that needs to go back in the pool. What kind of history would you be erasing? There are tens of thousands of fantastic handles that are just sitting there with zero to less than 10 posts.. So old that even the original owners don’t remember them anymore.
I spend countless hours trying to track down the owners of these names. I need them to match my domains. Every once in a while I’ll find the owner and 95% of them forgot they even had the account. There has to be something set up for accounts never used to be available. Even auction them. What possibly could it hurt to have handles transfer? I really don’t see why they can’t officially be sold. They are by the hundreds a day. And many for a lot of money. Some even five figures. The best way to regulate it is to allow it.

GoatBlower.com Reminds me of this
So a man walks into a bar, and sits down. He starts a conversation with an old guy next to him. The old guy has obviously had a few. He says to the man:
“You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it’s the best dock in town! But do they call me “McGregor the dock builder”? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me “McGregor the bridge builder”? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me “McGregor the pier builder”? No!”
The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:
“but you blow one goat…”

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Twitter could make millions by auctioning off unused/inactive handles. I have never understood this policy. It is another revenue stream staring them in the face.
The ironic part of Twitter is Biz really isn’t interested in making money. He is more concerned with what he perceives as doing good things. Of course he made his hundreds of millions while his stock owners suffer so its easy for him. The no political money is a perfect example. Hundreds of millions of potential dollars that every media firm in the country relies on for profits. He just doesn’t want to spend the time or money to vet the ads
Dont compare everything with domains. Social media is free and should always remain free. Imagine FB, IG start charging for membership.
Huh? I compare nothing to domains. When someone eats a hotdog and I not the guy that says “I own hotdogbun.io?” You got me 100% wrong. I am a business man. Twitter is not a charity. Twitter sold me stock. Stock that is based on PROFITS. If they were set up to be a free charity then no stock should have been issued. Who pays for your free social media? There is no such thing as free. Somebody pays for it. You are the kind of person that wants bugs fixed, more servers added for response time, and service but don’t want to pay for it. It can be free for some people but at some point someone is going to have to pay for it to keep running.
As for FB and Insta. They are absolutely LOADED with ads. Every 5 posts for Insta and Facebook is constant. And FB makes billions of dollars from it and the stock has treated its investors well. The difference is they are stealing all your data and you have no privacy. I think there can be a happy middle
Haha, Shane, my comment was reply for Dave’s comment thats asking to auction Twitter accounts.
I believe, Twitter and other social platforms have disrupted the way we live today. Its not only because they are innovative but mostly because they are free and they have equally been helpful for us. Now imagine they suddenly start charging us $$$ for membership and other things. I think that will not only be counter productive for them but also a black day for us, the end users.
