The Sky Witness Twitter handle has already been taken but SkyWitnessHD is available if anyone wants to try taking it. Unless of course Sky is dropping the HD from their twitter handles?


Erm...

Sky only added HD to the Living twitter handle as the other had already been taken.
Squatters? Can't Sky ask Twitter to force those Twitter users to rename themselves, freeing up the name?

Well if Twitter don’t give Sky the handle they want, they may go for Sky_Witness or offer the person who owns SkyWitnessHD something as an incentive to get it from them.

If they have a name in mind they surely would have things like social media usernames sorted before announcing the names to stop things like this happening?

I mean if someone actually wanted a certain @ for a genuine reason and not to spite the company and Twitter took it away from them, you'd have to feel sorry for them.

Sky have either gone for @SkyWitnessHD or @WitnessHD. Both have been taken but nothing confirms either, yet.
