2. Elevator PitchA Basic Understanding of TweetBay I am going to be creating a web based site that combines the fun of shopping like Ebay with the personal relationships Twitter allows you to have with your favorite celebrities. With this web site, you can buy merchandise directly from the links celebrities include in their tweets.
3. What Is News? To the millions of people that follow twitter each day, news is knowing what their favorite celebrities are doing-down to the hour sometimes. A celebrity sends out a tweet of a maximum of 140 characters informing their followers of what they did that day or are doing at that exact moment. Millions of people all over the world are instantly connected to the people they watch on television, at the movies, or cheer on at the games. To entertainment news junkies everywhere, Twitter is the ultimate way to stay informed on the latest updates directly from their favorite stars.
4. Why TweetBay? Ever wonder where exactly your purchased items from Ebay ever came from? Sure, you may know the seller from a screen name type handle, general location and seller’s history, but its hard to trust that the four hundred dollar handbag you bought from the person for two hundred and fifty dollars isn’t a knock off with out ever having touched the merchandise. Many times when you shop on Ebay the only time you really know if your getting what you paid for is when it arrives at your door. If its not what you expected, return shipping and refunds can be a hassle. -Wouldn’t it be great If you could get a bargain on the bag that Beyonce was photographed carrying last season? -Wouldn’t it be even better if you could shop with confidence knowing the merchandise is authentic? -TweetBay allows the celebrity followers to be in control of not only who they follow, but who they buy from.
5. How It Works? TweetBay is as easy as Click, Shop and Buy. Celebrities post their tweets, and included in them are links to the merchandise they have available for sale. TweetBay users can search by charity name to see what merchandise is available or search for a specific celebrity to see what thy have posted for auction. The link will open to the picture of the item(s) for sale along with a description of the item and the charity the proceeds will go to. TweetBay followers can bid on the item(s) or ‘Buy Now’ similarly to Ebay.
6. Saving Journalism With the majority of Twitter users age 31, There is a rise of internet usage among sites like Ebay and Twitter. A website that combined both ideas would benefit journalistic values because it puts consumers in control of the news that is delivered to them depending on what THEY consider news.
7. Saving Journalism Market Trends: A steady rise of online shopping between 2000 and 2007 shows there is need for a more comprehensive website for people who want to get news while they shop.
