The domain was probably as valuable as, if not more valuable than, the product

  It's an interesting thought and definitely a good domain for the use case. Tweet.photo as a domain isn't worth very much free standing though. Sub $1,000. You might get a few thousand dollars from a motivated buyer. Domains are typically either worth a surprising amount, or very little (always surprising to inexperienced sellers). The gap inbetween tends to be very large. That's the common result I've seen most often over multiple decades of buying and selling domains. It's very common for people to think they have a valuable domain, and then inevitably it'll end up being worth a small fraction of what they think it is. Valuable domains are almost always super obvious (eg tweet.com would be), or otherwise you get lucky with someone that'll pay a few times over fair value because they've got a specific use case and really want it (eg tweet.photo is worth $750 if dropped on the market, someone pays you $2k-$3k because they have an idea for an app and that's in their mess around price range). There may be nothing more annoying in this world (joking here) than the domain squatter sitting on a $300 domain that is fully convinced their domain is worth $100,000 or more. It's their chance, their lottery ticket, and they're not selling cheap. Back in reality, exceptionally few domains are worth more than a few thousand dollars.
