It was the Twitter account we all wished to register, @Apple. 15 days ago, May 12th 2010, Ann Falkov managed to register the Twitter username for herself. <\/p>\n

Ever since @Twitter was first introduced, despite their “impersonation<\/a>” policy which sees all persons with the intent to mislead or purposely pretend to be a corporate identity, removed from the social network, many people have still tried to register names of brands and businesses they love and admire, even attempting to register the account @Apple.<\/p>\n

But almost all never got the chance to due to Twitter itself imposing what appeared to be a full-blown ‘reserved’ stance on the account, many people of which began to speculate if Apple had actually instigated the action, to protect the account for the future.<\/p>\n

On May 12th 2010, just 15 days ago a girl named Ann Falkov successfully managed to register the Twitter handle @Apple, consequently ending her first tweet with ‘And boom\u201d\u00a6’. Is this Apple CEO Steve Jobs in disguise?<\/em> .. We highly doubt it. <\/p>\n

One thing is for sure though, if Twitter are serious on keeping the account name free in case of a future arrival of the Cupertino based company, the account won’t remain registered for much longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
