If you've recently tried to create an account using your
personal or company name on any number of popular blog or social media sites,
then you may have inadvertently discovered your name is already in use by
another person or company.
From a business perspective this can create real brand
confusion in the online marketplace; customers think they are dealing with
your company when they are really dealing with a third-party using the same
business name. From a personal perspective, it can enable thieves to assume
your identity and play havoc with your life. KnowEm
has an interesting solution for this problem.
When you arrive on KnowEm
site, you can perform a free search across 350 social media sites for your
name, your company's name or your product's name. The service will report
where your name is available for registration. Then you can either go to each
social media site yourself and create your account, or you can pay KnowEm
to handle all account creation for you.
KnowEm
can add your profile information, photos, URLs, bio, etc. KnowEm
offers a fee on a sliding scale based upon the number of sites you want to be
registered on and whether or not you want full profiles populated. Bulk
pricing for multiple brand names is also available.
For an additional monthly fee, KnowEm
will automatically register your brand on new social media sites as they are
launched. This will insure your brand is established on new social media
networks before some stranger has a chance to grab your name on the next
Facebook or Twitter. To learn more about KnowEm,
