proper twitter and facebook bitshares handles are for sale $3000

[xeroc]

What do we need those for? Isn't BitShares about decentralization? The worst thing that could happen is that the squatter publishes bad press, but what squatter possible has time for that?
we should focus on extending our efforts towards decentralization and just ignore those centralized things .. but I am not into social networks and marketing ..

I reached out to the owner of the proper bitshares accounts for fb and twitter.

www.twitter.com/bitshares

and

facebook.com/bitshares

He wants $3000 for both of them. It's alot of money but it's something I really think the community should own if we are to be taken seriously.
who the accounts should officially be controlled by is another issue to be decided if we do acquire them.

I'm sure I can barter with him and bring the price down more.

Please do not make contact with the owner as he will think there is stronger demand and may push the price higher.
