Is your favorite Username taken or available?

Often, when typing out the desired username field in a new membership form, the thought which keeps lingering around is ” Whether this username is available or already taken?”.  Usernamecheck.com is an interesting website which allows you to check for the availability of your favorite username for more than 60 websites like Gmail, Twitter, Technorati, Smugmug, Flickr, Youtube etc… 

To check if your username is available or taken follow the steps below

1.) Point your browser to http://usernamecheck.com/

Check your username availability

2.) Fill in the username you would like to run the test against in the textbox Username. Press Check.

Username check results

3.) The website crawls across the various web applications listed and returns back Available or Taken as the situation be.

As per the About section of Usernamecheck.com 

Usernamecheck.com is a quick and dirty solution to a question that we often lay awake at night worrying about. Do I have my username registered across every site that I should? What if the next internet humiliation meme just happens to share the username I’ve been using for years, and suddenly people are emailing me asking “hey, is this you ???”. The site is simple. I have a stack of web app urls, the application pings the site using the username you want to check, if it returns a “no user name” error we return that. The site uses Dojo as it does all the checks using Ajax (each check takes a couple of seconds so using Ajax you don’t have to sit and wait 3 minutes for the page to load).

Try it out now and see if your favorite username is still available.

[How-To] Test your VOIP speed and quality

Obviously you can’t rely on the advertised “upto” 8mbps speed for your broadband connection and this is where you need services for figuring out your broadband speed. However, the buck doesn’t stop there. Having a good broadband speed doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a good VOIP connection. This is when you need to go for a test of your broadband speed and the VOIP quality.

Voiptest.org offers a comprehensive test which measures the quality and performance of Internet connections for Voice over IP usage by simulating real VoIP sessions between our server and your computer. It also performs the bandwidth test to/from our server. After the test you can see results and comments about your connection quality in percentage scale.

All you need to do in order to run the test is as follows

1.) Point your browser to www.voiptest.org

Voiptest.org

2.) Click on the button which says ” Click to start MySpeed”.

Voiptest speed results

Voiptest summary page

3.) Once the test is complete. The website generates an interesting report with all the results for the download speed, upload speed, quality of service, jitter and packet loss for your broadband connection.

Go ahead and figure out if your broadband bill is really worth it.
