Interesting, but the actual domain name has little to do with a sites overall success or popularity.
I don't recommend names with non-obvious spellings or pronunciations (ie: twttr.com). But, "twitter.com" could have just as easily been "kickmeinthenuts.com" and had the same basic trajectory.
So, buying twitter.com in 2004 for $4,500 would have been worth nothing if you didn't have an idea for actually utilizing it. Twitter.com could have just as easily been used as "evernote.com" or "scribd.com" or hundreds or thousands of other ideas.
