Great topic, great advice! I was really disappointed when I tried to create a Gmail account and learned that my name was already taken. Thanks for the the list of sites. I look forward to learning more from you.

Regards,
Annie

It seems so obvious now that you raise the issue. I’ll add this advice to my business planning recommendations. Every marketing plan should include the tasks required to secure the business name on the important sites.

This is good advice. There have been many dissappointed people who have moved into social media sites and found their names already taken. Its hard for clients or friends to find you when they have to remember some strange variation of your name (or your company name). And if you are trying to “brand” yourself on-line, this issue is especially critical. With tens of thousands of people registering names every day, this problem is only going to get worse.
