Any thoughts on how I should expand the tool? I can see it going two paths...
1) Add more social network sites and more features such as auto-registering your desired name once it's free.
2) Generalize it to notify you when the data on any web page changes. Perhaps leverage dapper.
Or of course option 3: ditch the couple hours of work on tweettaker and concentrate on my next project.
Does a twitter name alone have value yet?
I think they have value for branding.
Because the cost to register an account is just one captcha solution, squatting twitter names seems to becoming more common.
