"As everyone knows, it is incredibly difficult to get a good .com name." I actually wrote a tool to solve this problem (it finds short, available .coms using real words): http://impossibility.org/ http://impossibility.org/ Ironically, it's a .org :) Basically, the reason you want a .com is so people will know you're a website. It's instantly parsable. "I work for Shoes.com" vs "I work for Shoe.ly... it's a website that sells shoes". It greatly simplifies advertising, press coverage, word of mouth, etc.

  My first result was tweetrage.com. Which if anybody has an idea for, I think is an awesome domain!

Nice tool. I recently found and registered a 6 letter .com domain on godaddy: http://Shaloc.com http://Shaloc.com, the site is mainly for Location Sharing, SHAare-LOCation = SHALOC, this is one way to find .com domains, the word may not mean anything, but based on what the site does it can be made easy to remember. .COM is definitely better and easy to tell others about it.

Very nice tool. It's a good meme/idea generator as well. Suggestion: make a "random" mode (ie, random participle and location for each of the 5 suggestions) and default it. My take on the .com vs. not: do both (ie, shoely.com and shoe.ly)... not like it's a significant cost. The .com is essential because some browsers still auto-default that extension.

We recently released http://rewordio.us http://rewordio.us which helps people find alternative domain names by using a thesaurus. We went with this name because it's a bit shorter, but also registered the dot com to make sure wayward souls got back to the URL we wanted.
