Well, Based on their Balance sheet, future potential growth accounted for and the amount we are willing to offer, I’m sure they will be interested

BTW – How would skepticism be a valued skill in a partner for us? What can you offer as a part owner of twitter (Remember, 140 chars or less )

[Reply]

This is a great opportunity. I love when someone has a vision and goes for it.

I would love to be a partner. This is a great opportunity for anyone. I’m ambitious, creative I love learning new things when it comes to marketing and my development as a leader. I will never know very thing but I can try to learn as much as I can and help others in the process. Success and leadership begin in the mind and skills are easily learned.
This is a great opportunity and I’m jumping on it.

Good Luck to you guys.

I think I would be a good candidate to win the 5% because I have great leadership skills and can come up with some pretty innovative projects. I also have programming skills that I can bring to the table.

Keep em coming guys and gals!

Absolutely awesome. I hope you guys really help all of us create our own “Bail Out” systems. Newbies need to start making reliable incomes from day one. Please help stamp out all the HYPE and BS. I don’t need millions but I would like to make reliable money and never have to rely on an employer or the government ever again. Great job.

Hey Colin and Frank!

I’m in. Your approach is sound, and I truly believe that your offer will stand.

I feel that I should be one of your 5% because I have been working with many of the social media for a couple of years now. Seems all the “big dogs” finally got on the Twitter bandwagon this past year.

I have many ideas I am implementing for broadcasting news, blog info, offers, JV brokering, etc.

Looking forward to your results!

Paul

[Reply]

I wish you great luck, but I feel this just to be a bit of a PR stunt. Twitter have already publicly stated they won’t be acquired, and all their investors are in it for the long term, not just to make a fast buck. As Twitter already turned down Facebook over money, I hope you have very very deep pockets.

So join the ranks of Google, Facebook, Microsoft et al enjoying the publicity enjoyed by those involved in Twitter purchase speculation. If this turns out to be real, and you do acquire Twitter, I am quite prepared to eat my hat.

Well….I wish you Both the best of luck…even though it is NOT April 1st (Fools Day) yet-here in Ireland!!!! If it is NOT a Fools Day Joke……You will be Rockin’ if they accept your Offer.!!

Great idea, except for one thing. Who’s to say this isn’t an April Fool’s Day trick. Come on, Twitter? Why would they sell to you? It’s going to Google like everything else. Great trick, though! You had all of these people fooled.

[Reply]

What an exciting day! Regardless of the 5% which would be great, I will bring my enthusiasm for your efforts and service to the membership.

Naysayers be gone! You get nothing in this world if you don’t put your neck on the line. Nice to see some people I know running with the big dogs, not peeing like puppies.

And if its all a marketing ploy – its a darned good one. So congratulations on that as well.

I would say best of luck but I don’t think you guys need it.

We all have to think positive. It could happen once you have the right amount of money to offer. Good luck! Now I have to get busy and start working my ViralURL.

Sick man I’m already thinking about how to make twitter greater. Round them up and make it happen.

Look at the date, boys and gals….. April Fool’s Day…

What a funny way to grab a free opportunity for some backlinks, but that one was TOO obvious.

Have fun, and Carpe diem.

mmmm

Wonder if anyone has realised the date!!!!

April Fools…….

Happy April Fools day guys Ha Ha Ha!
Good stuff

Pop over check out my blog and give me some hints how I could make it better for all newbies and the like
Thanks

I can’t believe how many people you have sucked in. Congratulations on what I thought was a very obvious April Fools Day joke, but alas, clearly is not so obvious. Kudos to you both.

[Reply]

This is a little confusing. Its almost like your making up this story just to get people to join your site and become your followers on twitter. Why would twitter turn down $500 million from facebook and accept your offer?

http://www.inquisitr.com/9436/report-twitter-turns-down-500-million-offer-from-facebook/

All I can say is that I find it a pretty deceiving method to try and generate sales.

[Reply]

Funny how 140 fits in our tweets! Time to turn tweeting to you big dogs. Always admire massive action and big thinking. Great role models!

[Reply]

Make it happen Guys. Twitter needs a model to transform all the tweeple into cash generating machines
Go Get Twitter~!

Is this April Fool’s day joke?

[Reply]

Go for it Boys,I have a Few Thousand followers on twitter and I tweet everyday,Monitize it and we all win, twitter peeps that are there to play and peeps who Can see the Way,Im in for 5 % (skills!!! Keepin it Real)

Go for it Boys, I have a few thousand followers on twitter and I tweet everyday, I just used my 6000 email 2day to spread the word for ya hehe (surely that puts me in the running for the 5 %) whoohoo I hope they accept the offer

[Reply]

Ha Ha! April Fool’s!

C’mon, unless you’re as big as Google or Facebook, you’ll never get Twitter!

But, then, it’s a great April Fool’s Joke;)

[Reply]

OOOOH I know , it an april fools day joke !!!!

But then if it isn’t , GO..Go ..Go.. , and take me with you

[Reply]

Hey Colin, I know you guys are excited. I sensed it when we chatted earlier on Twitter. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi future Twitter owners,

Please consider me for the 5% ownership, I’ve been in Internet Marketing for a while now and have a lot to offer you guys! Good luck with the bid!

Great stuff if Twitter and ViralURL would join forces.The synergy would benefit all.
Best of luck if this isn’t an April 1st ploy

Woo where to start? You guys rock, your enthusiasm and biz strategies are an inspiration! I’m rooting for you all the way..

What can I bring to the table? Life & some biz experience, the ability to think laterally, great leadership & customer care skills & enthusiasm, a positive attitude to growth..

Hi Guys. .Well big ups to you boys for pulling off a Biggie!!! Picked a primo day to make your announcement. . April fools Day. .If its for real then youre far from foolish for sure and Truly wish you both the best. .Youll be the TWITTERKINGS!! Love to be on board. .doubt Id make the cut. . not so savvy online !!!idatiIf its an April Fools prank then I commend you on your effprts {pretty clever} and if its the real deal then CONGRATULATIONS . .Proud of you!!!!

Ambitious young dynamic and a great believer :’)

What do you think you will be buying it for then?

[Reply]

Of course making this announcement on 1st April is not significant is it guys?

[Reply]

Belief is the knowledge that we can do something. So in belief there is power; our visions become realities.

[Reply]

Happy all fools day to you too!

[Reply]

Great April Fools joke guys.

[Reply]

I’m assuming that this is an April Fools joke – it IS April 1st you know.

[Reply]

April Fools!!

I love the ambition, but Twitter is not only used for people trying to make money online. While I would love to see up and coming internet marketers have ownership of Twitter, I think this is an cleverly developed April Fool’s hardy-har….Anyone remember Richard Branson’s April Fools when he said he was teaming up with Google for a Mars Expedition?

Good stuff guys, you rock!!!

[Reply]

Um…has anyone noticed the date or is everyone here in on it??

[Reply]

In this case I do think two Rob’s make a right.
I would be surprised if you even left the country.

Twitter is valued at $60 -$150 million. If they turned it into your vision it would most likely crash and burn. The only reason we can thrive here as biz builders on Twitter, is because it is more than just a business conversation place. The last thing we need is a bunch of marketers trying to get other marketers into their business.

I am confident that this is a combo April fools prank/get people to sign up for your program.

As an April Fools prank its fine. But if you are using it as a way to get people to sign up for viralurl I think it is bad form, and your lack of integrity will end up biting you in the bottom.

Good luck with your bid.

All the best,

Rob

Wow. Is this an April Fool’s joke? If it’s not, then you sure missed a good chance at it. Seriously. I’m not knocking what you are doing… it’s just that this announcement has been made on quite an obvious day. OK… so if you buy Twitter and are giving away 5% of the ownership, what exactly does that mean? 5% monetary or just 5% say-so in future development? Or 5% of the “laughs on you” (as they say….).
ViralFollowers does seems like a grand idea. Seems as though everyone these days wants to know how to get more Twitter followers. Those that actually pay attention to what you are saying, at least.

Wish ya’ll all the best!

Sounds great, but Twitter is forecast as being worth $1bill over the next 2-3 years. If you can pull this off, you are a God among men. Otherwise, great way to get some press!!

Hi everybody,

First I would like to say a big, no a HUGE thank you for all your kind words and support. Colin & I absolutely appreciate it and are very flattered.

Second I wanted to let you all know that I recorded a second video that is now posted at:

you guys are such sweeties – it was worth playing along to see what you would come up with next – what did twitter think of the joke?

I loved Franks’ serious vid where he showed how you would offer $1,000 to Twitter, his first couple sentences almost made me think he really was serious…

may i know what happen in this offer and what’s the status?
