Isn't this another form of cyber squatting? Highly coveted names encourage people to snap them up and hoard them with the hopes of reselling later. And they're almost certain sophisticated organized projects. Maybe not at the onset of social media, but now for sure. I've also heard that if you have a coveted name you're constantly fighting hacking attempts.

If a business or celebrity is leaving Twitter they still probably would not want someone to have their old Twitter name because it could lead to deception.
