@gary_hustwit We’re looking into it, Gary. The change took me by surprise too.
@holaMau Notice was given, and he never responded. How long do you expect Twitter to wait if you’re making the request?
@MarcDrummond Notice *was* given – even he admits this now: http://t.co/D69SB37
@MarcDrummond Anyone can change their account name anytime they want. http://t.co/50cPkZl
@andybudd If you recall, I tried to bow out earlier. Good night, Andy.
@andybudd Sorry – it just doesn’t seem to warrant constant rehashing and last word digs. Pet peeve of mine.
@notasausage Which he certainly could have done after getting notified of the violation of policy and getting suspended.
@andybudd @k Again, completely disagree. It was handled properly, and the owner given a chance to respond and act. #ihearwhining
@notasausage If you had registered @ggbridge, and were issuing updates as the bridge, why would you be surprised when you got suspended?
@andybudd But now we know there *was* an attempt at discussion, and he never responded back.
@lukeredpath Even more reason why the name and entity isn’t free for anyone’s taking. It seems to be owned by the City of London.
@shiflett True, notification would have been ideal, and a chance to move to a new username. I don’t think policy accounts for that yet.
@shiflett True. Even stickier if you’re operating within the same space – and in this case, the same brand and entity.
@andybudd @infovore Respectfully bowing out, since I don’t write policy, and don’t really know the ins and outs of this area.
@andybudd I don’t agree in this case. If you squat on an existing trademark, and pretend to be that trademark, don’t expect notification.
@Shealan Bob would absolutely have right to keep it if he weren’t ever tweeting anything related to shoes. Not so if he were though.
@CraigGrannell I honestly don’t know the answers. Here’s our trademark policy: http://t.co/q5POjM0
@21five_public Again, I’m not the one involved in these decisions. But our trademark policy is pretty clear: http://t.co/q5POjM0
@andybudd I don’t make these decisions. But curious why Twitter should be ashamed of handing the account over to the owner of the trademark?
@RobaZekry Portfolios speak for themselves. If you’re good, and your work is good, just apply yourself. Don’t compare yourself to others.
