Twitter and the person who stole the username. The original girlgeeks even helped them set up and knows them.


Ouch, that's a lot worse than somebody independently registering a trademark as an organization and then getting the name from Twitter.


Its true. I follow both the blog poster and the person who had their username taken from them.


I came to the same conclusion, otherwise I wouldn't have written the post at all. However, it's a blog with a spammy looking address and very few articles in it. I didn't mean this to be an attack on the author, it's just a first impression that gave me pause.


The blogger is a University lecturer. The address looks spammy because it's the name of a course module. It's not obvious though, so I thought I'd clear it up.
