According to a commenter on the linked page, you can file an impersonation report and will likely get it resolved.

  Spotted that, fingers crossed! Still worth being aware of if your case isn't quite open-and-shut, or you're planning a quick launch. I feel quite an eejit for letting it happen.

  Am I the only one slightly worried about this? I mean, they aren't really impersonating anyone, since the Twitter handle was created before the website was even online. First come, first served may suck sometimes, but at least it's a clear, well-defined and fair way of allocating handles. Before registering your personal handle, have you checked if someone had the domain?

    I agree in principle, but I think there's scope for leeway (at least I hope there is in this case!). Case-by-case can be painful/time-consuming - I know, it's baked into the ethos of the company I work for - but it has its rewards. People have more time for a company that has more time for them.

  I tried to have a twitter handle released recently and no, they don't process individual requests anymore unless you have a trademark or other legal title.
