German Twitter Clone for Sale on eBay

German Twitter Clone for SaleWhere do you go when it's time to sell your Internet startup for millions of dollars? If that startup happens to be a German Xerox copy of the Twitter micro-blogging service, the answer is eBay. That's what the owners of dukudu are doing. Unfortunately for them, it doesn't look like they're going to strike it Internet rich ... the auction is currently sitting at a paltry 12,605 Euros, or just shy of 17 grand in U.S. dough.

The service reportedly cost 25,000 Euros to develop, but the reserve price is only 15,000, which leads us to believe dukudu's owners are desperately trying to unload this service for some reason.

So if you've ever wanted to have your own Web 2.0 startup but can't code worth a damn, here's your chance to buy one already made ... though entirely in German.
