My rule with domain names is "If you think you might, possibly, at some hypothetical point in the future want the domain, register it." This goes double for your own name. @Ben Sinclair: Big Sight is a neat idea, but I'd like to see custom domains and a bit more customization (don't go crazy, maybe just let me re-order the "resume" page, or choose from some pre-screened skin options). @n0s0ap: That’s why it’s so important to get these domains.

The name you use online is becoming crazy important, especially since more and more people are catching on to it making it more likely that we'll have lots of people competing for the same or similar names. I of course am an advocate of original names. I'm proud to report that I own every single search result for "n0s0ap". Thanks for the mention!

I find it is extremely handy to monitor what is being discussed and posted about your brand using GA. http://www.google.com/alerts One other tool you left out is Google Alerts.
