How many historical searches were you hoping to see?

We’re actively adding new TLDs to our system. .COM.AU will be included over the next couple of weeks.

Suggestions are probably bogging down the iphone searches, I’m planning on hiding these unless they’re specifically needed, so there should be a massive speedup on mobile.

To avoid cluttering the site, I’m hesitant to add more than couple of additional lookups. Instagram and LinkedIn are the most likely, along with potentially Wordpress.

Hi Adam,

I have been planning to build a Namevine widget, it would involve simply adding one line of HTML on to your site.

Which domain extensions and social networks are important for you to offer on your site?

As for API access, that’s a premium service, I’ll email you to discuss.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m really sorry your results were inaccurate.

In about 5% of cases domain lookups are inaccurate, this is the price that is paid for making the search so fast. Of course when you click through to your favorite registrar, it’ll do a full check to ensure availability.

Facebook page availability is also sometimes a problem, it’s impossible to get 100% accuracy there for your search, but Namevine does the best job out of any comparable service.

There are some more details on the Namevine “about” page: http://blog.namevine.com/about/

If you’re willing to share your searches, I can update Namevine to be smarter about those results. Please email if you’d like to. I understand if you want to keep your searches confidential.

Vimeo 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

Hi Rutger,

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

Hi 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

Hi 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.
