daynah says Jun 04, 2008 08:06AM one good thing came out of this.. you got an account with a ton of friends! You could have ebay-ed it. LOL
Hawksdomain loves Jun 04, 2008 11:29AM that we no longer have to plan that plurking revolt to get Scoble his proper name
nibbler says Jun 04, 2008 01:28PM Where, in this case it's a good thing generally I'd hate to see it used as a precedent for "hey I normally use this handle... give it to me"
nibbler says Jun 04, 2008 01:44PM slaguzman true but I'd raise a stink if they did it for scoble and not me.. think they did the right thing but think it might be a problem
nibbler says Jun 04, 2008 01:50PM phoenixREGuy I'm sure as far as RS is concerned, scobleizer is more then a screen name, it's branding
johnfanelli asks Jun 04, 2008 02:13PM did the "thief" have a good reason for using the name? Did we even ask him why?
ChrisAldrich says Jun 05, 2008 07:29AM This simple step, hopeully followed by some additional API support and some good uptime, may be the tipping point for Plurk over Twitter.
