The webmaster had encouraged its users to create a similar site and had also left a link explaining how the entire functionality can be brought to life.

The entire idea was amazing and great for people who wanted to know if the desired or the branded unique username is available across all social media sites. With Usernamecheck.com closed and now the domain also sold we were waiting eagerly to see who will bring this to life…

We might be a little late to release this news to our readers however there is a site out there which does the same or has started doing the same when it got launched on the 01ST of Apr ’09. With the domain name Usernamecheck.com sold, the site was launched by the name – Namechk.com.

It pretty much does the same and carries the same functionality as Usernamecheck.com however promises to build on the same concept and introduce some features such as user-submitted recommendations for new social sites and a tool that will actually register at all available sites for you.

I did test a few names on Namechk and I can say it is fast, it actually returned results from close to 100 social networking sites within no time.

One of my favourite sites went offline recently. The site is called UsernameCheck.com and as the name suggestes it helps you check if a particular Username is registered/available across multiple sites.

Developer of the site says that the site was a pet project wich was developed over the weekend and he has no time or interest to keep it running.

The site seem to have had about a million unique visits in the last 4 months. Following quote from the site will give you a good idea of how popular the site was..

“In the last 4 months we’ve had over a million absolute unique visitors, who have checked over 1/2 million unique usernames across 65 of the leading social networks. It’s success was beyond anything I imagined, and I’m very proud that it was of use to so many people. Thank you all for trying it out, and thank you for the kind words I’ve seen online.”

The webmaster encourages its users to create a similar site with added functionality, he also leaves a a link which expalins how the functionality can be brought to life.

So if you are interesetd enough, get to work and create something which as already proven to be a useful tool and an attention grabber.
