Find Usernames from 400 Different Social Networks

The username I employ here on Reddit is one that I first used on my AOL account back in the 90s before you could even get a real Internet account in my area. Until recently, I had no idea how many times I'd employed it over the years, at least on services that are still in business. Well, thanks to a simple Homebrew app called Sherlock, I can search for my own or a friend's username across 400+ social media networks. I tried it with a couple.

To install Sherlock, use the following Homebrew command from the command line in Terminal or your terminal app of choice: 

brew install sherlock

To use the app, type the following at the command line 

sherlock "username"
