Namechk.com Launches Free App to Check Social Media Username Availability
Posted on 2 Apr. 2009, 6:13 PM by David Gosse

We took the opportunity to launch an official press release about yesterday’s launch of Namechk.  The release has received a lot of impressions in the last 12 hours which is exciting.

Excerpts from the press release are below. Read the full release at PRWeb.

Like a vanity domain name, establishing a personal or corporate brand via a strong social media presence or vanity URL makes it easier to be found and followed. For businesses that utilize social media to connect with customers, a large number of followers and “friends” can dramatically effect a company’s bottom line, notes David Gosse, co-creator of Namechk:

“It is increasingly important to develop your personal and company brand consistently across the major social network websites. That means getting the same username identity as often as possible. It makes it easier for others to find you, and it also builds a cohesive marketing strategy that eventually creates a presence in the major search engines. It also keeps others from tapping into your success and brand jacking your efforts and identity.”

Namechk plans to add new services in the coming weeks, including user-submitted site additions, tips on interesting people and brands to follow and a feature that will auto-register a selected username at available sites.
