My friend and colleague Jon Sykes recently launched his latest side-project usernamecheck.com. It’s a service for checking a slew of social networks to see if the username you regularly use is taken or not. Actually, you may have heard of it since it’s been getting a ton of press lately. It’s been mentioned by swissmiss, Lifehacker and CNET. Turns out a lot of people like keeping tabs on their brand and identity when it comes to social networks. Companies like Coca-Cola could appreciate something like this.

Mr. Sykes has recruited me to help out with the UI and design of the site. So look for updates to usernamecheck.com in the coming weeks (or days).
