Twitter account with a desirable username #16

This is not tagged for the preview release, but something that will become more important as we get closer to launch (promotion, support etc.).

As you could have guessed, @brandguide is taken. This might be securable if we go to the length of either claiming a trademark on Brandguide and subsequently filing a claim with Twitter. The alternative is that we could contact them directly to purchase (it's barely being used—but enough to not be classified as squatted).

Alternatives

As much as I hate arbitrary characters, we may need to live with it in the short term. When it comes to deleting unused accounts, Twitter would look favourably on a claim from an active account, not someone who just signed up.

Use this issue as a means of suggesting other usernames, or to post updates on attempting to wrangle taken ones.

As much as I hate the idea of it, perhaps we should register some other services early that are available - facebook is, for example. And Youtube.
