They Call Me Jane, That’s Not My Name

23 August 2009 No Comment FavoriteLoadingAdd to favorites

You’re PonyLuvr12 on Hotmail, GreenDayRox on Yahoo, JaneGallagher86 on AIM and you’ve justs signed up for LinkedIn. Having a bit of an identity crisis? It might be time to consolidate your own personal internet naming conventions.

Of course these days, it can be tough to find a moniker that doesn’t look like a serial number – especially as the trend is definitely moving towards real names rather than pseudonyms. But rather than pick a username on one site, only to discover that it’s been taken on all of your other favourite internet communities, first make a pit stop Friends Call Me . With one click of a button you can check the availability of any username across dozens of popular websites from Twitter and Facebook to Flickr and Etsy. In addition to the internet’s most trafficked pages, Friends Call Me also allows you to check industry specific websites such as Pandora and iLike in the music category, Xing and Slideshare in Business or Slashdot and Mashable in Tech. You may even discover some useful sites you didn’t even know you needed a profile for.

Friends Call Me - Search Results

Once you’ve established your identity is safe, you can visit the account registration pages of each site directly from the Friends Call Me search results and sign up (or create a new account if you’re ready to move on from PonyLuvr12). Once you’ve signed up under your preferred name on each site, you can add all of your new accounts to a single Friends Call Me profile so that no matter what your friends call you, they can find you anywhere on the web.

No one is going to be calling you out on an identity crisis.
