Comments on: KnowEm searches 120 sites for open user names

New service digs through different sites to see if your user name there is open. If it is, you can either sign up for it, or pay the service to do it for you.

That is good because I got some people pretending to be me at various web sites. Some of them are not listed in this service though, they are web sites not on their list.

At the moment the url does not get to the site. I tried it from this page and from their twitter account. Neither got to the website.

The idea is great, but the only problem is that they haven't secured their own brand.

That is just awful for a company that protects you from hijacking.

I like services that save me all the legwork. If you're trying to secure a brand name, it might be worth your time.
