Hey everyone, I HIGHLY recommend visiting this site that @Will put up in his blog about personal branding. The site allows for you to check for the availability of a certain usernames across multiple sites. Many of these sites I had never heard of before but I started going through and registering for ones that I thought were cool. There’s some really brilliant stuff – such as newsvine.com or ning.com
Anyways, check it out! http://namechk.com/

Yeah, NewsVine is a nice site. The founder of that site used to be the Art Director at ESPN.com; he seems like a pretty cool guy: http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/

I’d actually seen that on StumbleUpon before, but it’s been a while, and they seem to have updated it. Excellent tool.

This site seems great for making sure you can reserve your name on sites to maybe insure people don’t take the name from you. Like CliffyB and twitter. Also seems like you could find out all about a persons interests if you know their preferred user name.
