They didn't register the domain a year ago. They bought it from a squatter after Twitvid launched.



What I simply cannot understand, is why twitvid.io would launch, knowing that twitvid.com was out there. What did they think it would be used for? Selling flowers?

It's obvious that twitvid.com would become a competitor, and due to the service they both copied - twitpic.com - would look very similar to twitvid.io.


How do you guys know this?


Because (as I said in the post) the Twitvids also tried to buy twitvid.com from the guy who'd registered it, but couldn't afford his asking price.


Sorry for the ambiguity...I meant to say: how do you know that they bought it after Twitvid.io launched?
