Companies today no longer only have to provide contents on their on their own websites, but also on third party sites. This includes social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook for instance where the majority of businesses need to be present to interact with their audience.

For that, it is important to register the right brand, product or username on those sites. This can also be an important consideration during product creation. It is not only important that a brand related product name is available, but also that the name is available on social networking sites.

Individual users may also want to use the same name on all social networking sites they use. And that's where Knowem can help them with.

All it takes is to key in a name that you plan on using to see if it is available or taken on hundreds of social media sites, blogging sites, or video hosting sites. Knowem supports all popular names, from Twitter and Facebook to Reddit, YouTube or Linkedin. The most popular destinations are checked right away, with links pointing to the site's so that you can get started signing up on those sites manually immediately.

You can also switch to the Social Networks tab which lists all of the supported sites in categories such as blogging, business, design or information. Sites are not checked automatically, a click on check this category checks the availability on all sites listed in the category. To check multiple categories, you need to click the button multiple times for each category you want checked.

It does not end here though, as you can also use Knowem to check for available domain names.

The developers of Knowem make money by offering premium services. These automate the signup on a select number of sites, and include profile creation and email confirmations. It starts at $64.95 for 25 essential networks and goes all the way up to $599 for signups at 300 social networking sites.

      Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.

    The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
    https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/

    Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.

    With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.

      This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)

    With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.

    Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.

    The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.

    If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.

    And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.

    Article Title: Reddit enforces user activity tracking on site to push advertising revenue

    No surprises here. This is just the beginning really. I cannot see a valid reason as to why anyone would continue to use the platform anymore when there are enough alternatives fill that void.
