I had my own run in with Twitter usernames and the publisher Apress, I ran @apress and hooked it up to the book release feed, I never got an email from Twitter, they just handed it over, I tweeted and got a very apologetic email from apress (and some free books!) I'm not upset about them taking the subdomain, more the response from the employee who states things as facts that just aren't true (and comes off as very aggressive).

Bravo, Apress. I love reading great examples of companies doing the right thing (alas, they're not good linkbait). While no one can call me a fan of digg, they rightly recognized you as someone who genuinely liked their company and were only doing them a favor. Thanks for sharing this.
