Some companies are just sooo touchy about people using their name in domain names. According to the man himself the latest to fall victim to this is John Chow’s reciprocal Twitter following service hosted at www.twitterfollower.com
Twitter have issued a Cease & Desist to John, it’ll be really interesting to see how this one pans out (there are certainly plenty of cases in John’s favour for this one)?
Oh and by the way there is also a very real chance that this could be just link bait by Mr Chow himself. If it is it’ll be a shame, I’d really like to see how the courts would see something like this.

Would you care to explain to me what a “cease and desist” is? Sorry if I am sounding stupid, I can only imagine, so please enlighten me.

John Chow should surrender or else he will be the loser likely.

It is going to be neat to see the outcome of this one. I think John will come out on top.
