I had to think about this one. auctioning your @twittername for charity or potential investment money. Figures 7-Attitudes

I don't have the funds for the auction but I will follow you Drew. Hope you reach 100,000. Great Idea.!

Drew - Along with this great gift there are people who will be praying for you. I am a Boston College grad and this weekend's BC standing for Beat Cancer (due to football player Mark Herzlich's fight with Ewing's Sarcoma) shows just how we can band together and make a difference. Hang tough, Drew and kudos to Drew Carey.

There is something wrong with http://twitter.com/DrewFrom... that charitable donations will increase if Twitter followers increase. Will Drew be manually blocking spammers that opt to follow and thereby "game" the pending donation? And what does that say for new Twitter users or Drew Carey fans, that the key is not in Twitter content but in followers? Everybody joined Twitter when Oprah tweeted, everyone became her fan, and look how often she tweets.

Drew tweets differently than Oprah, but the principle remains. Charity aside, I don't appreciate money being donated as a direct result of increased followers. That's like Ashton vs CNN all over again, and goes against the purpose of the social tool.

I agree 100%. Drew Carey has a ton of class and deserves this great publicity.

It's not being sold. A donation is being made to a charitable foundation and @Drew is giving up his rights to the name, free of charge.

User names have already been sold in the past (I can provide examples) but this is a donation going to charity...that sounds like a cause that is for the good of humanity.

if you read the article you would have seen the mention "with twitters blessing" meaning this was cleared in advance.

Isn't it against Twitter TOC to buy or sell users name on twitter? Or maybe it just depend on who you are.

Tip: Did you know that there's an Spanish version of Twitter? It's birddi.com. It's awfully like Twitter, so I'm not convinced about the security of the site. Is it a project by Twitter or a third company?
