StoryMint: Social Media Handle Research
Delivered November 27, 2019. Contributor: Benjamin H.
Goals
To find out which social media handles similar to "StoryMint" are currently being used on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. This research would be used to launch social media accounts for a project called StoryMint.
Early Findings
In the attached spreadsheet, the availability of social media handles similar to StoryMint on Facebook and Twitter has been provided. In subsequent research, the research team would investigate the remaining social media platforms. - On Facebook, there is a page named "The Story Mint".
- The following usernames/handles are not owned by any user on Facebook currently: StoryMint, StoryMintApp, TryStoryMint, StoryMintNow, and StoryMintContent.
- On Twitter, these usernames are currently being used: "@storymint" and "@thestorymint". All other variations of the handle provided are still available and unclaimed.
Proposed next steps:
You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
Within the first hour, we have scanned Facebook and Twitter and filled out the availability of usernames similar to StoryMint on those platforms. We recommend further research to find out if the following usernames are currently being used on social media: StoryMint, TheStoryMint, StoryMintApp, TryStoryMint, StoryMintNow, and StoryMintContent. We would scan the following social media platforms: Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. For each username scanned, we would enter YES or NO in the attached spreadsheet. All social media scans conducted would be cited in the spreadsheet.
Also, we recommend further research to provide 2-3 best practices for creating social media usernames or handles.
