We are selling the domain name twitreport.com.  Since you own twitreport.net if you would 
also like the more desirable .com we are making it available.  The cost is $99.97.  That 
includes a year of registration and transfer of ownership to you.  To purchase or to 
learn more go to:

http://www.dcinchq.com/checkout.php?domain=twitreport.com

If you pass on this opportunity someone else could purchase this domain and it may not be 
available again.

For questions contact us or go to:

If you are not interested there is no need to respond.  We will not contact you again 
regarding this domain.

To which I replied:

Since all you have done is squatted on this domain in the hopes of
profiteering off of it and the work that I've done on Twit Report, and
since I absolutely own the first page of Google searches for
"Twitreport", I see no need to reward you with $100 of my hard earned
money.

Domain registration is usually between $10-15 dollars a year. I'll
give you $25 for total and immediate ownership of twitreport.com. If
you want to be greedy and bet someone else will pay more, go ahead. As
I said, I already "own" Google searches for the term due to my actual
work at developing something, so whether or not I own the domain is of
minimal concern to me.

Then I went and checked the ‘whois’ for the domain and found that it was listed as ‘available’.

So I registered it myself for $10.
