There is another site to check user names, http://checkusernames.com/.

Chris,

The site I use and recommend is Knowem.com which has a free service to find names, and a paid service to actually claim the name for you. Namechk.com will also check the name availability for you.

Guys, the usernamecheck.com seem to be up again.
The problem is that the list of Social Marketing sites is a bit outdated.

Chris, I think the link for usernamecheck.com is no longer in service. When I clicked, I got a GoDaddy parked page with lots of ads. Just thought you’d like the “heads up.” Other than that, great post.

Robyn: My twitter name is now ChrisBrown330.

Matt: You’ve got a point, but 330 is both my area code and my birthday. But like most things marketing, if you have to explain it, it’s not the best! I keep thinking about your comment.

Melanie: I think branding yourself by your product or company is fine if that is what you’re going to be posting about all the time.
