I remember there was once an application called BlogTrader or something like that where you could buy and sell 'shares' in blogs and websites in a fictional stock exchange. This current site is a bit like that, only much more annoying (and as of this morning, has been closed down). In this case, the commodity is Tritter profiles, and they are 'owned' with or without the permission of the profile owner, and the application allows the 'owner' to post messages on the Twitter account. The original BlogTrader was soon dominated by bottom-feeding trading consortia who manipulated the market to make themselves rich, and made generally useless. In this case, the accounts are being 'stolen' (or 'bought', or whatever) by spammers and trolls and other internet lowlife.
