Godaddy Now Offers Twitter Username Check and Registration
Twitter names at Godaddy
I was just over at Godaddy looking at a few names that I have there and I saw something that caught my eye. Godaddy now offers an instant twitter username checker and if your username is available you can set up a twitter account and start tweeting in seconds.
This is the first time I have seen this and I do not know how long it has been their for. I think it is a good idea for people to be able to easily grab their Twitter name to protect their brand, but we do not need any twitter squatters thinking their names are going to be worth millions. The Twitter username Drew was a major exception because it was sanctioned by twitter. Comedian Drew Carey bid $100,000 for the name.
What do you think about Godaddy allowing its customers to easily register twitter usernames for all of their domain names?

Put it this way, I would not be too happy if someone else had the twitter user name relative to my domain name or brand. I believe twitter is a whole new marketing eco-system, therefore Godaddy should be given thumbs up for looking ahead into the future of where micro-blogging is heading. If you have the right “keyword” username on twitter, it leverages your brand!

This was reported by most domaining blogs back around July 3rd. Methinks you need to visit Godaddy and/or other blogs more, lol. In all fairness, you might have been in the wilderness at the time though.

That is nuts! I wonder how Twitter feels about it? You would think it would lead to mass Twitter username squatting.

This is a really good idea and something a lot more registrars are sure to follow. I really feel Go Daddy is advancing the registration process and making things a lot simpler. Gone are the days now where we have to check the name at Go Daddy then check again at Twitter. Be great if they could integrate some more checks as well. FaceBook etc.

i love to Twitter my day to day activities to my friends and followers. Twitter is much better than blogging because it is direct to the point and does not require you to type so many unnecessary words.
