Is it possible that the Twitter folks believe it's easier and more likely to get a result in their favor by taking on only one domain at a time? No need to confuse the organization with a mass request.
I see what you've done, there, twiiter.com: Tweet troops tackle tech twin
Twitter wants the domain 'twiiter.com' and has gone to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to seize it. The Facebook-for-showoffs has filed a UDRP complaint for the misspelled domain, and been given case number 1607451. The real surprise is why it has taken the San Francisco upstart so long.

And with the massive stacks of cash these companies get from VCs, there is no excuse.
But what do you expect from a company that has its head so far up its ass that it can see out through its own mouth....

Number of domains with one duplicate character, eg 'twitterr' : 6 (not 7, because of duplicate t)
Number of domains with one keyboard-adjacent char, eg 'yitter' (all appropriate chars are legal): 56
Number of domains with one additional keyboard-adjacent char before or after each char, eg ytwitter : ... lots
Number of domains with two characters transposed eg wtitter ... some more
And that's just for starters.
Obviously they could get a few obvious ones, and with some research perhaps the most common typos... but all? Could start to get a little expensive.
And that's a recurring cost.
