Twitter url availability is now the immediate thing I check when I'm considering a name or URL. I've even at times opted to not go with names/urls or stall projects over it.
For my main project, someone has the @name, no tweets for over a year, 0 followers/0 following, 6 tweets total... whereas I've had the .com since before they even created the account so I was sure I'd be able to claim it. If not by their impersonation policy then by their inactivity policy. Over a month later I got the boilerplate "No."
Either Twitter has some metrics we can't see to determine "activity" or they're just not even looking.
