Jason Calacanis tweeted an offer to get on the Suggested list that Twitter now displays as a part of the registration process.
@davewiner It’s actually a standing offer to Twitter. $120k for one of the twenty slots. In fact, I’ll pay $250k for two years in advance.
TechCrunch confirmed it with, and got this from Calacanis:
I believe that in five years the top 20 recommend slots will be worth $1m a year each–super bowl commercial level in fact.
. . . this is 100% dead serious. I’m thinking of sending the check today anyway…. if it sits on their desk they might just cash it.
I think this will happen, as I’ve written previously. Calacanis might just speed it up with this little stunt.

Crikey I hope not. I’d like to think that the evolution of tools for finding relevant followers and followees will be the future – the lucky occupants of these slots do very well now (evidently) but Twitter is still a toddler and surely relevance will prevail as the community and technology matures.
