Test your username for uniqueness. The site checks member lists of all the major web 2.0 sites out there for matches of your username. See if your handle is really that original.



Apparently, "Veho" is not unique

12seconds - taken
Diigo - taken
Gmail - taken
Hellotxt - taken
Vimeo - taken
Yahoo - taken

None are mine, aside from Yahoo and Gmail I have never heard of any of them before today. I may have once registered at yahoo (it would have been about 10 years ago and I expect it would have been recycled by now) but never gmail.

On the other hand I just tapped a very long random string into it and those exact sites appeared again, an even longer and even more random (cat walked across the keyboard) threw up more "taken" so I guess the site is broken.

You have to realise sometimes people want to make a quick registration just to access certain things on the site and therefore mash the keyboard when asked for a username. I have done this coutless times myself.

Not necessarily, people make bogus accounts all the time, when they have to register on a forum to read something, or on Youtube to see some 16+ material or something, then delete the confirmation mail and forget them in a few days. Then they make a new one. Most of those are in a "oadjbfhpLASKFJ" format.

On the other hand, the site might just be broken.

EDIT:
QUOTE(FAST6191 @ Jan 1 2009, 02:12 PM) @Xcalibur yeah but very long = 30 or more characters in this case
Yeah, case in point.

I am 100% sure my nickname is original but this site says that some websites have the nick registered (some of wich are my accounts), when I search the websites that I do not know(click the link) it says that name is unknown and the users does not exist...

I would hate it when I would see another Laminaatplaat :S

lol, mine's not too original (Maktub).

My other nickname, however (deriving from my real name) is far more original (Juan Olvido isn't such a common name after all!

Mine seems to only be available at sites that don't allow 3 letter nicknames.

Didn't bother to check the sites I didn't recognise, though.

Law497 is taken 7 times. 1 of which is mine.

Not bad considering the numbers were just die rolls.
