Back when I first signed up, I had @jarin. Then later on (like an idiot), I changed it to @jarinudom when I was trying to unify all of my logins. I later realized the error of my ways, only to find out that someone got @jarin, tweeted once, and abandoned it.
About a year of filing tickets later (about once a month, explaining that I used to have the name that I wanted and that it was no longer active), I saw an article on TechCrunch about Twitter deleting the inactive @ericschmidt account so that Eric Schmidt could have it. So I filed one last ticket, linking to the TechCrunch article and saying "Hey, I'm the head of a company too (albeit a much smaller one)!" and things like that, and 5 minutes later I had it.
