##Used Guid Reporting

Ever wondered if that that GUID you're about to use has already been consumed?

No.

Well you should. Check the twitter feed - twitter.com/UsedGuid, and start reporting your usage of GUIDs. It's the right thing to do.

Throw away those old paper based systems.

Nick's complete post on this.

• This version of the code runs with Entity Framework
• Makes use of TweetSharp (which as of 2016 still works)
• Further upgrades are not available on this public version of the code yet.
• Please submit bugs, don't get my UsedGuid twitter account banned ;)

1. Supply the guid you would like to use/reserve.
2. Get a response

• Either
  • 200 ok, you're set.
  • 4xx, 5xx something went wrong, see the response message.
