Have you checked the same thing as your AOL, just at gmail? Failing that, full name, full name+Esq, always good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My name is already a domain name, taken years ago by a travel accessories designer (apparently, they have stores, I've always wanted to go in and buy something with a credit card)
I tried my AOL first thing when I got my gmail invite, it's taken.

Dude. You totally need to do that!! Possibly get some pictures taken in front of the store...
I would also vote for a gmail, maybe FirstLastEsq, if it's not taken? (Hmm. Guess that's one instance where my unusual name is helpful, no worries on getting my gmail as I want! But all google results are me)

ita! you deserve your exclamation point. You've hit it. I have tried at least 10 different permutations of initials and name, with and without esq. When I google firstname lastname esq I get 1.34 MILLION hits. Great for anonymity, bad for trying to get an email address :)

I'm going to a small biz expo with a networking event in KC on 11/16, and if any Buffista freelancers want to send me cards to maybe pass out (we're supposed to have our own cards, and an elevator speech, which I've got, but are also supposed to have contacts for needs we encounter that perhaps lie outside our area of expertise.)
If anyone wants to send me some of their cards, e-mail me at my profile address for my address. I'll promo you if the chance presents itself.

Our wings are not tired.
We have been extremely focused on the technical end of our business for the last couple years. Major time, money, mental energy all on development. Now we are switching gears and turning the focus to marketing and sales. I am neither a developer nor a marketer, but I still have responsibility for it all.
I am going to be assigning part of this to one of my people this week and he will be charged with research and development of social media, facebook, twitter, etc. We have been in business for 23 years and pretty much every one of our customers came to us. We have neglected the whole going out and getting them part.
We have had a website forever, but it hasn't been updated in many years. We are working on that part well enough. I am personally supervising that project.
Facebook - I made a page today! It of course has no content whatsoever, but apparently I can't have a username until 25 people like me. So please like me! [link] Also, grrrr, I can't have a business/product name that starts with a lower case letter. Really, Facebook!
Twitter - I now have a Twitter account! Yes, I know, but time has been limited for me. So if you would like to follow Holt_Laura I may some day tweet! And the business will surely start to tweet someday and it would look nice if we actually had followers so please to follow eMedRec - thank you.
And now that I did the social media setup stuff I have to get back to the technical stuff on my to do list.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I still occasionally see "mailbox full" with AOL users which I don' see with other mail services. So they really are technically behind.

It's funny--I just recently was creating an email list for parents and saw a couple of aol addresses. I confess to instantly assuming they were way behind the technological times.
