I think Twitter is forgetting what made them so popular in the first place – third party application developers who built apps to add value to the twittersphere in the first place.

took them a year to trade mark,,,,obviously did not believe in it in the beginning 2006

if a site has twitter or tweet in it, and has millions of hits which link back to twitter thought follow me, would twitter have a problem with it, ? Should not..

nike trade marking “just do it” is just BS ,, that is the english

I could never trade mark my name because other people have it, was no one using the word twitter before twitter. There was a cartoon character using “tweets’” or tweet , cant quite remember, but that was 30 years ago….unfair that someone can be the ‘owner’.

There are sites using twitter in their domain name which drive traffic to twitter, and those people make money out it and give twitter a higher ranking on the net, how can they not use the name twitter to sell a product that involves ‘twitter’ or tweet
this is a commercial world and why is twitter around (to make money at some stage, that is another issue, all these sites with huge traffic that dont make money or how to ??? )

Is using the word twitter a problem? There a number of sites that use twitter in their domain name?

If sites were using techcrunchgetmoretraffic.com (and drove people to your site) would you have a problem with it (unless it was unethical of course) ? …and there were thousands, more would you have a problem. All roads lead to Rome. If there is a symbiotic relationship – surely working together is the better for all, Russell
