Tweexchange – First Twitter Username Aftermarket, Sell Your Twitter Name for Cash

May 4th, 2009 by Social Guy

Is your name Joe? Are you a professional clog dancer – and an amateur Tweeter? Unless JoeClog is available as a Twitter username, you might find yourself frustrated that someone got to it first. That is, unless your able to pickup your rightful Twitter handle at Tweexchange.com, the first Twitter username aftermarket exchange service – here is how Tweexchange works :

Conceived and developed by Craig Agranoff – a founding member of publicly traded, VOIS.com (pronounced “Voice”) (OTCBB: VOIS) (OTCBB: VOISW) – Tweexchange presents a forum for Twitter members to exchange or assume Twitter usernames from other existing members once they reach an agreement.

“The interest in Twitter names is hot,” said Agranoff, a noted blogger and web developer. Agranoff, came up with the idea for the site during personal time allowed to him by his employer VOIS.com. At VOIS, a social commerce website for professional freelance and on-demand services, all employees are allowed to spend a percentage of their time working on personal interests, a policy put in place to encourage creativity.

To build Tweexchange Agranoff kicked things off by posting the project idea on his employer’s website VOIS.com and soon after receiving several bids, awarded the project to a developer who knew the Twitter API. Agranoff then posted and awarded a second project to a graphic designer. The bi-awarded team created Tweexchange in less than a week and all for under $1,000.

“It was that easy” Agranoff said. “I had the idea to build Tweexchange on a Friday, posted the projects to VOIS to bring my vision to reality and within a week I had the site up running and looking good.”

The site release comes amid recent controversy at Twitter highlighted by the friendly Twitter competition between Ashton Kutcher and CNN that first shined the light on the concept of transferring Twitter handles within the pages of the top news platform. CNN reportedly assumed the Twitter username CNNBrk #CNNbrk from its original Twitter owner in a deal whereby the prior owner stayed on in “consulting capacity” with CNN as they took over the Twitter name. Tweexchange is the first Twitter name exchange and fastest Twitter name search of its kind.
