And why would you think that anyone would pay $50000 for a stupid handle for stupid Twitter.


In the article the author states that someone once offered him $50000 for his twitter username. That is where that price comes from.

In hindsight, the author should have taken the offer. I sure would have! I agree with you, no handle is worth that much money (unless you are Google or Microsoft, etc.). If somebody offered it to me, it would be a done deal without a second thought!

The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke!

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.
