Last time when you opened a new twitter account and tried for some happening username, you were really disheartened to find that the username of your choice is unavailable. Having no option, you chose for some second fiddle.
But if you are willing to keep a tab on the twitter news for some time in immediate future, it can be that you can get the twitter username you first tried for.
The limited time opportunity will come when Twitter will make available currently locked-up Twitter usernames. Locked-up usernames are those twitter accounts which are either inactive (have no updates for six months) or are blocked by twitter for some weird activity (activity which breaks the Twitter TOS).In addition they also include those twitter accounts which are deleted by their owners.
Although Twitter has not specified a date for the opportunity; sources say it’s coming soon.
