According to USA Today, Twitter and Sweethearts Candy plan to stamp “Tweet Me” on the familiar heart shaped, candy which usually has messages like “kiss me” “Hug Me”and “Love You”.

Actually the candy maker is just adding “Tweet Me” to its existing lineup of 79 expressions found on its candy

Sweethearts will also be launching an iPhone app to send virtual Sweethearts boxes with personalized messages that can appear on anyone’s Twitter page.

Twitter will not be receiving any compensation under the deal.

Twitter does not own the domain Tweetme.com.

That domain is directing to the owner’s Twitter page, Jonathan Nafarrete who company is Domain Name International.

Mr. Nafarrete currently has 73,000 followers.

The domain Tweet.Me is going to a site selling t-shirts with Tweet, Tweets or Twitter “sayings”.

Both of these domain just got a lot more valuable.

    WOW Mike you getting propositioned now. You think this made those names a lot more valuable ? I mean for a month or two maybe. The interesting thing with Twitter IMO and I would like your opinion. They are being all relaxed and cool about using their TM, but if they wake up one day with new management or investors pressuring them to go after domains, I think domain owners could get screwed. Would the lax attitude help protect owners at least from not having any problem other than giving up the name ?
