We really feel the love from many Twitter users, with whom we’ve shared some “tweet” reparte.  Thanks to these and many others: @mashable (thanks for the article), @scobleizer (thanks for crashing us), @josh (the first to write about Namechk at C|NET), @zaibatsu, @pitchengine, @Orli, @weblaunches, @guruvan, @Djchyk, @wendytimmons, @autismfamily, @upicks and @CharissaCowart.  And so, so, so many more!!! :)

Our goal, first and foremost, was to provide a fast, free, useful service for branding yourself and your company via social networking sites.

This is just the beginning though, since we have plans to provide more social media tools in the near future - including the oft-requested auto-registration tool (we’re working on it!).

We’ve gotten some fantastic feedback from hundreds of Twitter users and we’re so glad that you’re finding the tool useful. So keep the tweets, replies and DMs coming - we’re tracking your feedback and gearing up for more tools soon.

Thanks for your strong support - we couldn’t do it without you!
