GoDaddy shutters Twitter accounts after MMX deal
GoDaddy is closing down a bunch of Twitter accounts it acquired when it bought MMX last year.
The company this morning notified followers of 13 TLD-specific feeds that it will no longer post updates and that they should subscribe to @GoDaddyRegistry instead.
We will no longer be posting to this account. To all our followers, we hope you’ve found this channel helpful.
To stay informed about alternate domain extensions we will be posting related content @GoDaddyRegistry.
We can’t wait to see you there. pic.twitter.com/EBn9Nxwcjg

Accounts such as @GetDotFishing, @JoinDotYoga and @DotWorkDomains were affected. They hadn’t posted much in a couple of years.
GoDaddy last year acquired MMX’s portfolio of .law, .abogado (“lawyer” in Spanish), .beer, .casa (“home” in Spanish), .cooking, .dds (“dentists” in American), .fashion, .fishing, .fit, .garden, .horse, .luxe, .rodeo, .surf, .vip, .vodka, .wedding, .work, .yoga, .xxx, .porn, .adult and .sex gTLDs.
Not ever gTLD had its own Twitter account.
The deal was worth about $120 million and led to MMX winding down earlier this year.
