Any idea when the process to claim inactive accounts is going to be fixed? My startup owns the domain associated with its name (which is pretty unique), but someone is squatting the relevant Twitter account without any activity. I already contacted Twitter but they said basically they can't do a thing unless I trademark the name, which is cost-prohibitive.
- eps 16y agoThe cost of obtaining a trademark in North America is well under $500. This is very much doable for any "startup" unless it's a disposable toy project of some kind.
- relix 16y ago$500 for something non-essential? Startups are launched with a budget of $5000, and you think spending 10% on a trademark should be possible?
- rsingel 16y agoTwitter is starting to take back and re-release inactive accounts. You can sign up to be notified when the ones you want are made public via Tweetclaims (not my startup, but I did write about them).
