I wrote this keyword tool to help find a domain for a new project I am working on.<p>I thought it turned out decent enough, so I'm releasing it, hoping others will find it useful.<p>There are tons of these domain keyword tools around, here's why I built this one:<p>- Wanted to check the best keywords first, then fallback to less popular keywords<p>- Handle plural/singular keywords gracefully (like greatguitar.com, guitargreat.com, greatguitars.com, but not guitarsgreat.com)<p>- Use WHOIS rather than DNS to determine availability (more accurate, but slower)<p>- Simple to use<p>- Fast<p>There's still a lot to do, but in the spirit of release early and often, I'd love some feedback on this.<p>Do you find this useful?
I find <a href="http://impossibility.org" rel="nofollow">http://impossibility.org</a> to be a fair bit faster and with a bit more control over options. Suggestion: it'd be nice if one could toggle between what registrar they wish to use and have the URLs automatically updated.
Hmm, tldrpower.com is available.<p>How are you checking for name availability? Every option I've looked at either wants to charge me money, or has a TOS that's hostile to scripting.
it works. To make this even faster., Try to memcatch frequently searched domain names and flush it for every 24 hours(Incase someone registered one).<p>Good luck.
When I scroll down a little and try to highlight a domain name, as soon as I click on the white-space, it scrolls to the top.
All I am trying to do is highlight:

This is actually quite useful. Speed would improve the overall user experience. Also, I'm not too sure what the links are at the bottom of the page?<p>All in all, great first start. It'll be powerful once you start including other domains (.me, .us etc)
Additional value would be to check associated Twitter/Facebook usernames - you're not just searching for a domain name, you're searching for a brand, right?<p>Great service though (impressed by Impossibility! too).
