What's the deal with all the hand reg's having to do with "tweet" -- tweet this, tweet that...is there any particular reason that they want to piggyback off twitter?

I realize it's popularity is soaring but don't see the big boys jumping on the bandwagon.

I think people believe tweet is the new blog and they are trying to get in early. Seems like there are trademark implications though...

Cause they are noobs =]

Yeah, I think you're right about being noobs because only the .coms are being reg'd and those people only have a few domains in their portfolio.

As for TM issues, not sure Tweet is a trademark of Twitter, is it?

Twitter is just a simple micro blog which everybody in the U.S seems to have caught onto on although elsewhere not many people know what it is unless you are a techie........

Because people don't know how waste the money

The same happened before with iPhone, YouTube, Pizza, etc...
