i don't use twitter, despite the multiple invitations from friends...at least not yet
nonetheless, as soon as i saw this, i knew i had to register my startup's name on twitter. thanks so much
- whatusername 18y agoprobably a good lesson - basically where-ever possible - register the .com, probably the .net, the twitter,gmail,hotmail,yahoo,wordpress,blogspot names as well.
- sjs382 18y agoWho's gonna be the first to create a tool that does that all for you? :)
- matt1 18y agoThere was a rate my startup type post a few months back of a site that checked the availability of user names on all those sites with a single click. If you can find it, it's probably as close as you're going to get (since it'd be very hard with all the CAPTCHAs to automate the name registration). Mechanical Turk, anyone?
- sjs382 18y agoWell I guess you could automate everything except the captchas. Just ask the user for a name. After that check availability on serviceX, display captcha, repeat.

- matt1 18y agoThanks. You'd be amazed at how quickly the names are going. When I went back right before this launch, I checked a few of the names to see if they were still available and was blown away by how many were registered in such a short period of time. If you're thinking about registering a name on Twitter, you'd be wise not to procrastinate :)
