In the early days of internet (the Web 1.0 era) it was critical to secure a domain name for your company, if for no other reason than to prevent domain name squatting.

The same sense of urgency now exists with social media.

While it is important to understand that you don’t need to participate in every new channel and tool, you should at least secure a consistent username on as many services as you can.

I recommend services like User Name Check to quickly and easily scan through numerous social networking sites.

Even if you don’t plan on engaging on any of these sites right away, you won’t face the frustration of unavailable usernames when you do start. Additional you will be defending your name/brand by preventing imitators and fakers.

A true conversationalist both online and off, Titus rarely shies away from a healthy debate and is motivated to see the Internet become more social and move towards more engaging conversations. Titus is also an avid cook and would rather eat a failed recipe then throw out food. As a student, in order to save a few bucks, he would often brew his own beer.
