Hello Assetizers,

We’re happy to report some new coverage that our Twitter Parking service has received. Read the TechCrunch article here. I think Daniel did a great job capturing the essence.

Readers have raised some interesting issues in the Comments section of the TC article, and we thought it would be a good idea to address some of them here.

First, be sure that the Parking and Buy/Sell services are separate, so any accounts that are ‘parked’ will not be listed on our site for others to see without your permission. While monetized accounts are certainly more appealing when sold (and hence, a connection between the two service can be made), we will not force this connection on users or list parked accounts automatically.

Second, a little background on why we’re optimistic re: Twitter’s TOS. There are already services that provide users with content (e.g. YoTwits, Twitterfeed) and services that provide users with the ability to monetize their accounts (e.g. TweetROI and Twittad). Assetize’s parking service simply marries the two concepts. We’re hopeful that since Twitter has accepted the above services, they’ll be accepting of ours as well.

Our goal remains to help users monetize their social accounts, and we thought this would be a good step towards that. Thoughts? Would love to hear from you in the Comments section.

Talk soon,
Saif

Most Twitter accounts are inactive. Is yours? You can make money without lifting a finger.

Assetize has introduced a new way for you to monetize your social accounts: Twitter Account Parking! [Our interns call it the Bird's Nest. Pretty clever of them]

How can you park your account? Follow these simple steps:

1. Provide your account information

2. Give us keywords related to your account. We’ll use these to make sure that the content we provide is relevant. (Your only step*)

3. We provide the content and insert periodic ads

4. You make money

*Seriously, that’s it. You might want to come back and check your earnings once in a while though. Seeing your account balance grow is always soothing for the soul.

We’re currently in beta and sending out invites daily. To learn more or request an invite, visit http://assetize.com/park

Happy parking,

Saif
