people are already changing their names to twitch.tv/streamName in steam and youtube.com/channelName to get themselves viewers and exposure. no one is using teamfortress.tv/streams/view/streamName, though. I see that as a lost opportunity.
so, 1, get people to do that.
but, 2, see about shortening the links so that the name can actually be read in scoreboards and stuff. "team" and "fortress" already is a lot of characters already.
3, let people add their youtube, their twitter, their facebook, their steam group link, their myspace, tumbler, linkedin, tf2mingle, their I don't know what link ... and general info, like twitch does, to their stream page on this site. is that stuff, short/long bio, in the twitch api? could you just access it and copy/pasta?
I don't know how much work this is asking. probably not worth it. just writing this idea down before I forget it and it never gets mentioned again.

I've already done this, I think adding a little "tf.tv" to the end of your name can help. :]

"twitch.tv/"; is a lot shorter than "teamfortress.tv/streams/view/";.
There have been at least two topics about a shortened URL (one by me), and there was something about two letter URLs domain names being really hard to get. I don't remember the exact reason.
..and if you add tf.tv to your name without having the domain, people will probably go to tf.tv, see it doesn't exist, and then forget about it.
If I saw someone with "dota2.tv" in their name and the URL didn't return me anything, I don't think I'd try putting in "defenceoftheancients2.tv".
"twitch.tv/" is a lot shorter than "teamfortress.tv/streams/view/".

tftv.com and tf.tv appear to be open (at least, there wasn't a website using those domains when i went to them). If we could acquire those and redirect them to this site, that would be sweet

I think it's tacky to make your stream/youtube channel your steam name :s
Something that would be cool would be a tf.tv item in game (kind of like how UGC has got medals)

tf.tv is NOT available
tf2.tv is NOT available
From: https://www.doteasy.com/sign-up/
If it were to be done, it would have to be something like teamf.tv or tfort.tv or something.
Edit: Though Octane pointed out tf2.tv takes you to Arx and Beta's YouTube. Maybe someone could convince them to let Enigma have it for this site?

If someone in a pub knows what teamfortress.tv is...
almost automatically makes him the best player on their team
from my experience anyways

I'd add teamfortress.tv to my name, but I'm such a shitlord sometimes I feel I would be misrepresenting the name.
Also, not that this would immediately be a problem, but there's possible issues with perception. Like if a bind spamming loser decides to run with the name in pubs or something.

The type of person who spams binds probably has no interest in promoting this website.
