Get A Move On, Twitter - Just How Hard Is It To Release Inactive Usernames?

Twitter has some policy on inactive usernames, which it defines as an account which “hasn’t been logged into or updated in over 6 months.”

Inactive accounts may be automatically removed from Twitter. To keep your account active, be sure to log in and post an update within 6 months of your last update. Accounts that have no followers, followings, or updates may be considered squatting accounts and immediately removed from circulation, so do please avoid this if possible!

Checking a profile page will reveal the last update of an account.
