I agree that you didn’t “steal” the name. If my name is John Smith and someone younger than me has the same name, did he “steal” it? Not exactly the same but you get the point. And what is the difference between being the first to register that Twitter account and what happened with domain names in the 90′s. The early bird gets the worm. But I was glad to see your morality prevailed in the end, thanks for the article!

@Astralis I think “stealing” is a harsh word, because that implies they had possession of it in the first place. Thanks for the comment

You can’t steal someone’s name, even if you use their content. Maybe they want to use specific content or customized content for Twitter. Because you stole their name, they were locked out of doing that. Good story, though, and thanks for sharing and I’m glad you didn’t fight with them to return the name you stole.

I love twitter because of its simplicity but now it seems as if we’ll have tweetspams in future.

I like your title ‘No good deed goes unpunished’, may be its right for twitter.

Thanks for the comments; I wrote about this more to share my super script with everyone, rather than to complain. The post’s title was simply to get attention (although Steve’s post title, “Make Money on Twitter, in minutes,” probably would’ve worked better).

I hope to see DonorsChoose.org use their twitter account to it’s full ability. If you’re looking for a script to use, I know where to find one

We’re super grateful for the support that Eric has provided in introducing new users to our website. By partnering with DonorsChoose.org, Eric helped to fund a number of classroom projects on our site, for which we’re very grateful. We’re also impressed by the powerful and innovative syndication model that Eric built.

However, we started hearing from a number of Eric’s Twitter followers, who were under the impression that they were hearing from our organization directly by following @donorschoose via Twitter.

As a charitable organization, the trust that we foster with our supporters is of utmost importance, so it’s critical that when our supporters they think they’re hearing from us, it’s really us.

We explained this to Eric and he graciously agreed to stop tweeting from the @donorschoose account.

We’re appreciative of Eric’s understanding and cooperation, and hopeful that he continues to participate in DonorsChoose.org’s new affiliate program, helping us to get much-needed resources to public school teachers and students.

Thanks again Eric!
