Applications are being thrown at you from all directions. First it was Facebook, then came iphone, orkut, Android, Blackberry & you can even add google docs widget to your gmail. Why would you sit there & add similar applications all over the place. What next? Add a feature that’s useful damn it!

How many Accounts do I have?

usernamecheck is a great tool posted on TechCrunch that lets you know if a particular username is registered with a list of applications. Whats great about it? Like they say it is great to check all the places you are registered at if you always use a default username. Although the list of applications still is small, an enhanced list would be really great.
