Piece of Twitter Up for Sale!
Bit.ly for Twitter Part II for songs? It's all yours for a low price of $50,000!
Song.ly is a new web service that allows users to share music links through Twitter and hopefully allow more unique discoveries. And Flippa can put it right into your hands -- to own.
The auction on this website has two options to acquire it. Anyone can "Buy It Now" for a mere $50K, but the auction will continue for 12 days with a minimum bid of $15,000. All joking aside, not that money grows on trees, I'm surprised that this price is so reasonably low. Anything associated with Twitter with a decent domain name is an attractive catch.
All you have to do is enter a song title into Song.ly and the web service searching for those tracks. Simultaneously, the links shorten in order to accommodate for Twitter's character limitation and compacts the song in a Flash player that works with Firefox and Internet Explorer with possibilities as an open API.
AND! When you order now, for a limited time, the sale comes with the Twitter account "@ song_ly". The PageRank is at 5 and attracts about 175,000 pageviews per month. The creators of the content claim that they have not considered monetizing the site, which means either it's a risky move or there is much potential to tap into. To run the service would only require about an hour and $80 per month to upkeep.
So make your bid and don't take no for an answer...
