(quick tool I wrote) we help you get the twitter name you want (tweettaker.com) 3 points by int2e 17y ago ↗ HN
[–] int2e 17y ago ↗ Any thoughts on how I should expand the tool? I can see it going two paths...1) Add more social network sites and more features such as auto-registering your desired name once it's free.2) Generalize it to notify you when the data on any web page changes. Perhaps leverage dapper.Or of course option 3: ditch the couple hours of work on tweettaker and concentrate on my next project.
[–] quizbiz 17y ago ↗ Does a twitter name alone have value yet? [–] int2e 17y ago ↗ I think they have value for branding.Because the cost to register an account is just one captcha solution, squatting twitter names seems to becoming more common.
