Get Your Own Twitter Service for as low as $6750!

Update: The auction has jumped thanks to us (ha) to $11500!
Are you sitting on the couch wondering what you should do with your life? Do you know that you can make money while you sleep? Did you know that you could own an Internet business for pennies on the dollar? You can have the fame, the fortune, the women, the cars, the IP addresses, the iPhones, everything you could ever want with an Internet business. If you like what you are reading, have I got the business for you!
It's a Twitter clone! Yep, that's right… today, you can own a clone of the "popular but useless" Twitter service! German company "dukudu" has placed their Twitter-clone on eBay. Unfortunately I can't read all of the German in the auction, but for $6708, can you go wrong? I will note that dukudu looks way better than Twitter!
Check out all of the auction details on eBay. Check out the details on their blog (in German). In all seriousness, I wish them much luck in selling their startup. In the last ten minutes, the auction has gone up several times which is a good sign.
And if you act today, I will throw in a Facebook clone, and a YouTube clone. If anyone has any info on dukudu, please comment or send it in!







Everybody should be away that twitter and it’s clones are currently burning money FAST, not unlike youtube who were said to burn 1 million / month… With bulk sms prices in germany at around 4 cents / each dukudu.de could easily burn 5-digit amounts per day…
So I can understand the point of developing but not starting the project live.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110141009440&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fws%2Fsearch%2FSaleSearch%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26satitle%3D110141009440
They offer here on a project like it with eBay to find rare are. 0-8-15 Script or a license do not concern any converted. They acquire from reason on independently programmed Web 2,0 a project of the EXTRA CLASS!
Alone development costs of the project lay with more than 25,000 euro!!! For conception, texts (system texts, FAQ, route…) etc. were additionally invested by us still several hundred hours!
dukudu.de is similar a Mikroblogging Community as Twitter.com in the USA. The Twitter idea is to be understood however only as basis of this project. dukudu.de is durchdacht, planned and converted substantially better. Also optically it is probably the most beautiful Twitter clone on the market.
In the final result it acts around a Mikroblog Hosting system with Community Funbktionalität. The special is that one in-maintains contents also via SMS and receiving can.
To specify the framework this would probably blow up all functionalities eBay announcement. Therefore we ask to make themselves interested buyers simply an account with dukudu.de and to make themselves an exact picture from feature offer to. The most important features in the Überlick:
- Creation and maintain several! Mikroblogs (group functionality!)
- Mikroblogs observe
- function – Private one message system
- Linkages (friendships) between Mikroblogs manufacture
- to make SMS
- PIN otional possible around the system still safer
- background picture and background colour select
- Friends too dukudu invite
- and and and… The system became of
The system converted the many years experience with large projects and scaling barness from a professional agency. This would care for and would remove the project when desired also further.
dukudu.de was not yet officially started and applied. We accomplished only a public beta phase. Concerning application and positioning thus still all possibilities are open to you.
Components of sale
With the profit of this auction you acquire:
- the Domains http://www.dukudu.de and http://www.dukudu.com
- the beautiful Design of dukudu.de
- all associated Scripte and source code (PHP/mySQL based on CakePHP)
- rudimentary Admin baking (delete user, put on/berabeiten advertisement in SMS/Mail)
- the registered word mark “dukudu”
- when desired the associated finance company “dukudu limited” (otherwise this is liquidated)
- when desired can do the 4 used Inbound SMS numbers of “mobilant.de” to be taken over and the installation costs be thus saved – when desired the Managed server knows with “netbuild.net” on that the project runs to be taken over (we to recommend this, there the server optimally for dukudu.de configures is!)
- of the lawyer provided AGB and data protection regulations
How can the project be refinanced?
- Advertisement in the signature (20 indications) of each outgoing SMS
- Advertisement in the signature (20 indications) of each outgoing Mail
- Marketing of the homepage
Why is a project with as much Potenzial sold?
- because the necessary capital for the surface covering application of the project is missing to us
- because the behind it-standing team for private reasons separates
AGAIN:
dukudu.de is not the usual scrap iron, which daily you find on eBay. The project was planned and converted several months. It is after our view the BEST Twitter clone on the market and has the chance the number 1 in Germany to become. We are still extremely convinced of the topic Mikroblogging. Unfortunately however – out for the project start not foreseeable private and financial reasons – the Potenzial is missing to us around dukudu.de to success to lead. We wanted to create our future existence on the project. They can be thus safe that the project in the smallest detail is converted in the best way durchdacht and with love and heart blood.
Use this unique chance and acquire you now a project of the extra class!
thanks to your advice we added auction details in english.

Hi Allen,
Recently found your blog when I was reading
http://www.techcrunch.com
Great info about the auction on ebay for
dukudu company. Obviously, the company agreed
too. Noticed the last email thanking you for
giving them the English Auction idea.
Great for you! **They need to give you more credit
than just on your blog. Let me know if they do.

Thanks Elizabeth – the idea of selling a business on eBay will become more popular if services such as dukudu can sell theirs for a good price.
Of course paying the fees will take a bit away, but it could be an easier transaction than getting lawyers involved and so forth.
