Most of you have probably heard the term ‘domain squatter’ which is someone who registers a domain with the sole intent of selling to someone else who has a legitimate need for it (at a substantially increased price). Well, domain names are not the only thing being targeted by squatters as social networking names are being quickly gobbled up.
This day and age, anything which has the perception of being valuable online is going to be sucked up quickly, so you have to act fast. Even if you do not currently make use of the popular social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) but see yourself doing so in the future you should go ahead and register the name you want… now.
