I used to have @paulg on Twitter. One day, a Twitter founder re-assigned it to pg. I never even got to use it :)
I registered it when I arrived to Startup School 2007. All of us had never seen or heard PG speak online or video, but just essays. The nerdy idea was, what if there's a blog or twitter account that sounds like PG's essays but about mundane topics?
I could have transferred it myself, years earlier, but I forgot I even did that until an article came out.
I also registered "docs" when Facebook allowed apps to have custom usernames. It was re-assigned to Microsoft the next day.
