It really pisses me off when I go to sign up for a website and someone has already used what is really a very unique username I think. Now I go and try and set up a last.fm account and some teenage girl who can't think of anything original has stolen my online identity. Now you may say that I don't have any more right than she does, and I suppose I don't but I have a website called freaksauce.com, I have a flickr and delicious account called freaksauce, I have an email address jon@freaksauce.com and now when someone sees freaksauce on last fm they will think I listen to Weezer!!!???

old weezeer us alright it's just the last 5 years or so that it's sucked. :)

thought about using freaksauce.com as your name? I know its not the same but it may be it's an option. Last.fm is over rated anyway.

AARGH now the head of prudential is stealing my identity too! ;) well spotted Claus.

Oh and I've really got nothing against Weezer, in fact I've only heard one track years ago and figured they hadn't done anything since. So anyway I had another look through the offender's music list and while I've never heard of 'Leftöver Crack' and 'Mustard Plug' there was plenty in that list that actually impressed me. Not what I expected from someone born in the late 80s!

i know what you mean! 99% of the time, my username 'bunnyhero' is available to me (and i own bunnyhero.com/.net/.org [as well as my main site, bunnyherolabs.com]), but occasionally someone else will already have taken it, which drives me batty. i often wonder if someone will think these fake bunnyheroes are me.

I have a new mission in life - to sign up as "freaksauce" any time I see a new website launch. Surely this is a lifetime of joy! In return, you can always make a cardboard cutout of me and throw darts at it while you work.
