A while back - well, actually, a year back - I bought a domain-name, mystatus.im, to go with a little project I was working on at the time. The project was to automatically sync your instant-messaging ’status’ from Facebook to Twitter, Pownce, Jabber, etc etc. It was quite a good idea, and while some have got a little of the way there, I don’t believe that a decent “my status” sync has really been done yet.

There was some shonky code on there for a while which did the Facebook->Twitter bit, but I retired that a short while ago, since the Twittersync app on Facebook does just a good a job the other way around.

mystatus.im runs out on 25th May. I’ve had expiring domain-names swiped by get-rich-quick merchants (mediauk.co.uk cost me a considerable sum to get back, though there’s a back-story here, since mediauk.co.uk had been out of my reach since 2001), so if there is anyone out there who can see a use for mystatus.im, please do get in touch. (I’m not planning on making a load of cash, and am more interested in a good coder doing a good piece of code).

.im is in the Isle of Man, by the way - a great TLD for instant-messaging type stuff, I think.

Also up for renewal is the instantly-usable UKDIGITALRADIOMEDIAONAIRTODAYSPY.COM (no, really) which I bought as a gag a year ago after it was published in The Radio Magazine. You don’t want that one? Oh.
