Everyone knows that when you’re selecting a brand/company/domain name, you need to do due dilligence; domain searches, nuans searches, trademark searches and of course the ‘market-ability” of the brand e.g. that it’s short, memorable, easy to say and spell, and ideally sorts higher alphabetically.
With the recent popularity/success of social marketing spaces/tools, you need to check if your brand or company name is available in the most popular social media spaces (at time of writing) e.g. ustream, twitter, friendfeed, 12seconds, blogger, etc. and this just got easier thanks to UsernameCheck.com which searches 50 social media spaces which a click of the mouse.
If would be great if UsernameCheck.com would allow one-button registration too, but alas, I guess we’ll have to do manually for now. Let me know if you’d like help with that, or if you feel other social media spaces and/or tools should be on the ‘must do list’.
ETA December 2011: It looks like UsernameCheck.com has gone offline! Don’t worry – check out some similar services!
