I needed to point a domain to a new website I am developing, so I logged in to my GoDaddy account and noticed something very interesting on my domain manager screen. There was a little blue Twitter button to the right.
Huh? Is GoDaddy an affiliate of Twitter Or is Twitter paying GoDaddy?
I rolled my mouse over the little blue button and a gray box pops up with an advertisement for me to join the conversation on Twitter. I immediately asked myself, “What is GoDaddy getting out of promoting twitter?” I thought Twitter was trying to make money and I really didn’t think they needed to spend on advertising. So what gives?
Then I saw the little blue Twitter button again and again on a few other administration screens in my GoDaddy account, so I paid closer attention to where the twitter buttons were placed and carefully read the small print on the advertisement.
“Holy huge revenue opportunity batman!”
- Is Twitter going to somehow capitalize on your user name domain name? Twitter.com/askJayson is important to me.
- How about adding some Social Media solutions and applications to you Twitter account, for a small fee of course?
- Are there Twitter gadgets and widgets in the works? It would be pretty cool to have more interactivity on my twitter page.
- Why Not? Is your Twitter domain going to become your Social Media hub page on the web ?
So what does this all have to do with GoDaddy? I am not entirely sure, but I do know you can now register your Twitter domain name through GoDaddy.
What are your thoughts about this Godaddy Twitter alliance. Am I making some huge assumptions? What do you think its all about?
What is your Twitter domain worth to you?
