Reserve Usernames
December 8, 2009 1 Comment
One simple piece of advice I recommend to entrepreneurs is to reserve their company name as a username on popular services like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc. The username has to be unique to the service and acts much like a domain name where it is first come, first serve. Registering the name now doesn’t cost anything, so reserving it is a good move even if there aren’t plans to use it anytime soon.
So, head on over to usernamecheck.com and start reserving a username.

This reminds me of the old days of Twitter. I used to be a white hat Twitter username squatter, and I’d eventually give the username to the company. For example @WordPress was mine and I gave it to them after having a meal with their founder.
