Tweet.in - killer domain!

Since you're soliciting a response, the term "tweet" appears in no less than 50 live trademarks at the USPTO.

[plaggypig]

In the context of a Twitter related app/service there is no trademark issue.

Twitter has said publicly that use of 'tweet' in related services is not only acceptable but positively encouraged.

Can't get much clearer than this: "In fact, we encourage the use of the word Tweet".

Incidentally, their USPTO application for a trademark on 'tweet' was also rejected.

I hope this clears up any misapprehensions.

I'm going to set a deadline now - if it's not sold by midnight Friday 6th October then I'm taking it off the market.

I think you've hit the nail on the head 1

Not sure why you think Twitter's application was rejected. That's the problem with relying on sensationalist blog posts that have no idea what they are talking about. I posted extensively on DNForum about Twitter's application & response. USPTO has not rejected the application, it simply awaits a reclassification, as 2 more "tweet" marks from Retweet and Tweetpics are in the same class. There is no outright rejection of the application.

@Acroplex Thanks for the clarification. Still, whether or not a TM is ever approved makes little difference considering their stated policy on encouraging third parties to use "tweet".

@britishbulldog - I thought I'd priced this at an attractive level for domainers, given the sale price of tweet.me. What would you suggest instead?

[Acro]

At USPTO there are 50 marks already feeding off the "tweet" mark - in various classes. A mark doesn't need to be registered in order to be claimed. Also, Twitter never waived any rights of use; they'd have to fire their lawyers.

I would not have responded in this sales thread but you invited a conversation by wondering why an obvious tm domain won't sell.

@acroplex I'm pitching this name at people who may be looking to develop Twitter-related apps/services, and Twitter has said on more than one occassion that they're perfectly comfortable with that. 'nuff said.
