Instagram not working correctly
It looks like Instagram searches are no longer working correct. They almost always show up as not available, but they may actually be available. I've verified this and reserved names that showed up as not available on Namevine.

Instagram issues
Does this site not work with Instagram anymore? Because every name I click on and go to Instagram it says 'sorry, not available'. But when I go to Instagram directly it is available. Are you no longer working with their API?

Scam?
Been using your site for a months I have been looking for a web brand. Finally found something I liked a was showing available across the board. Went back to it several times today and left it on my screen. Went to register it a few hours later and low and behold the site was all of a sudden taken and is now for sale. The also registered fb and Instagram. Amazing coincidence huh? Are you scraping names that your users are searching for?

A check box by each service like twitter
A check box by each service like twitter where searched name is available to register and submit button next page should list their sign up pages. When you enter name it should enter name in all forms and so forth. You can charge a fee for using this service. If you explain effectively what the service is going to offer people will buy it.

I don't understand

I don't understand...
Every domain that I have found on here has already been taken when I go to register it? Are the names that are displayed not checked to see if they are available first?
1 voteHi Austin,
There is a slight chance that some registered names are shown as available. I describe it here (http://blog.namevine.com/about) under “Why Does Namevine Tell Me a Domain or Social Media Account is Available, But It Is Really Unavailable?”
If you’d like me to look closer to your specific searches please reply to this via your email (you should receive this response as an email).
Thanks, Mike / Namevine

A sign in, so we could keep all the variations we looked up in a file or printable format. Separated by ALL CLEAR and OTHERS

I type in so many names. And write them down separately on a pice of paper. It would be nice if the site could save these into categories of some sort.

Perhaps Vimeo too then...
...as I see one can pick a username there too. (The biggest advantage of Vimeo over Youtube is the ability to overwrite an already uploaded video with an updated/redacted version.)
1 voteVimeo is a great suggestion as well. I’m thinking in order to avoid overwhelming a user I’d segment the possible account lookups into various categories like: social networks, video sites, etc.
Thanks! Mike / Namevine

Do a check on displayed names, not only user names (URLs)
I guess this is a very tricky one to code but it matters.
For example: if I choose "Mister Test" and all the account names are free (such as twitter.com/MisterTest www.MisterTest.com etc.) but there is still a musician called Mister Test on Spotify, or a Youtube User called Mister Test (with another User ID), then it might still not be practical to register the name.
1 voteHi Rutger,
While I agree that this may be worthwhile, it’d be tough to achieve using Namevine’s update-as-you-type system.
Also, my feeling is that whoever has the actual vanity URL/username stands a better chance at branding more effectively on whatever social media platform they’re using.
However, I’d like to understand your use case a little better so I’ll follow up with an email shortly.

Hi Rutger,
I’ll take a look at what’s involved here. I agree that it’d be great to have Soundcloud support.
