While they say that you won't see alot of usernames become available dec 12, chances are it will be by new years!

I don't even use twitter, but as soon as this happens I am going to try to snipe an OG name too.

I doubt you will be able to claim old OG usernames, but we shall see.

I call this "fat trimming". But I don't like how you cannot befit your posts on Twitter.
Edit, I mean. Does this site censor some words?

I've had my eye on one handle forever now. It looks like it's inactive too! We'll see what happens. :D

Hopefully they make them available not hoard the shit out of them.

This is awesome. I have always wanted a specific handle that really isn't OG but the account is inactive I would bet. I even tried to go through the steps of setting up a website and business with the name to try to get twitter to give it to me. Hope to be able to snag it as it really should not be on anyone's radar.

6 months ??? The heck, should be minimum 24 months.

It's a win for most people! Loads of people just snagged the OG names right away!
