What would you do with the $75,000 twitter.ca domain name?
by HalfInformed on Oct.13, 2009, under Garbage Day
As of time of writing there is 27 days left on the auction of twitter.ca on eBay that is sitting at $75,000 Ameribucks, which only begs to ask to ask the question “WTF would you do with the $75,000 twitter.ca domain name?”.
Let us look at some comparisons between twitter.ca, twitter.com and matthewgood.org, the later being one of my favorite Canadian artists who just released a new album.
Website Alexa Ranking Est. Worth Possible Daily Ad Revenue Daily Pageviews
twitter.ca 1,461,756 $1408.90 $1.93 643
matthewgood.org 251,145 $12234.80 $16.76 4769
twitter.com 13 $172,070,000 $235717.28 78571428
Looking at these numbers and ignoring the rising stats of twitter.ca it would take about 38,860 days (106 or so years) at a ad supported revenue stream of $1.93 to pay off that $75,000.
So looking at that biased number crunch what would you do with the twitter.ca domain name?
Possibilities are including but not limited to:
- Give it to Twitter
- Use it to run a phishing/Black Hat Ops site
- Create a Canadian Themed site using twitter API supported by ads
- Sit on it and sell it later
- Try and resell it right away
- Keep the ownership papers from CIRA and use them to pick up all the chicks
So what would you do with twitter.ca?

I would use it as brand for a newspaper. Then print edited twitterstreams + QR codes to take people to videos they ould watch on the cell phones, computers and flat screens.
And maybe make a bundle selling print ads in localized versioned newspapers. Probably do it in High Schools firsts and get all the social service organizations to put in ads. Then do it in selected physical communities with local business ads. Then do as a national network of print newspapers for any addressable community of interest. Then sell it to Microsoft to help them figure out what to do with MSNBC. Or maybe Comcast . . .

When I go to the eBay page and scroll down, it says the domain name is ‘Twitterca.ca’, not ‘Twitter.ca’ yet another eBay scammer trying to cash in… You may want to change all the references in your blog post to reflect ‘Twitterca.ca’
