Twitter squatting and how to prevent it by getting in first

Completely off topic for this blog, but something you should do even if, like me, you are certain you will never bother with twittering on Twitter. Read this article on Twitter squatting and get your name (if available) some related twitter urls for yourself and your site. You never know when you might wish you had them. It’s brainstorming time!

Follow the instructions in the article. The GoogleMail tip is good as, if you register lots, you will soon run out of email addresses (passwords don’t need to be unique, by the way, just email addresses).

All I would add is that when you create an account, after the first screen, press the ’skip’ link top right on the second screen, and then log out at the third. Think up a new name and repeat.
