Now twitter has the twee.tt domain, which ends with the “.tt” country domain for Trinidad and Tobago. Is Twitter trying to satisfy some more holes with its own URL shortened or is this just a precautionary move to maintain power over use of the word “Tweet”?

Twitter freshly released its own Blackberry app and obtains the Tweetie iphone app; place it in tougher rivalry with some of its third-party app manufacturers. Twitter now uses the bit. Ly as its default URL shortened, but could easily switch to twee.tt. Shortening to all links to twee.tts makes logic from a product standpoint.

Twitters attempted (and botched) to trademark “Tweet” and last summer warned developers from using the expression, before supporting. Twitter uses the term on its own website, of course, and it is powerfully coupled with the party.

To be obvious, just because it possesses the Twee.tt URL doesn’t mean that Twitter is setting up on doing anything with it. Twitter has possession of many domains which it is just sitting on, averting others from getting hold, or preserving for future use. Twitter also owns twitter.tt and someone applied for twe.tt on March 27, 2010. Nothing of the .tt domains are yet subsisted.

Twitter could also use the domain for new products. For illustration, if it finally instigates marketing at its peep conference this week, it could allocate precise URLs such as twee.tt or others to publicity messages with associations in them.
