  Good Grief - never announce in a public forum, even one as trusted as HN that you are interested in a domain. Nefarious individuals (Domain Squatters) will grab it - then good luck ransoming it away from them. I've grabbed it via 1&1 - if you're going to do something useful with either of them - let me know so I can transfer it to you gratis - just create something interesting. :-)

    We could DOS domain squatters: Generate and post as many cool domain names as possible, until they run out of money for registering them.

      I think domain tasting [1] would unfortunately reduce the possibility of this working. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting

      That reminds me of Network Solutions registering domains that people searched for as "nice service". That was a fun day.

        Wow, I had always been nervous about that, but I assumed I was being paranoid: "Network Solutions may reserve domain names that are searched on our Web site for up to 4 days. During this period, these domain names will only be available to register at networksolutions.com" http://about-networksolutions.com/customer-protection-measure.php http://about-networksolutions.com/customer-protection-measur...

I just randomly generated these available domains (I'm hoping they will inspire a startup): xzamcram.com myredflyerwagon.com singlamingla.com wallflyer.com imwithhacker.com notabot.com ...I like the ykombinator premise too.
- aparadja 16y ago
  Hmm, notabot.com hasn't been available since 2004. You might want to reassess your availability check.
  - JacobIrwin 16y ago
    I knew somebody would check my work. Notabot.com is the only domain in that list that is available only as a premium domain name ($1,888.00). All the rest are up for grabs.

    Yes, I believe a crunch mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place and eat Kashi GoLean.

Every once in a while for fun, I try to find as many good .com domains as I can. There are a lot of good ones out there. I've considered having a best available .com competition here, but think it might be considered wasteful, doing the work of squatters for them.

  There was a recent XKCD[1] on pairs of words that sound good together and quite a few of those domains were available. So I don't know what it'll be yet, but my next project is going to live at lasernarwhal.com. [1]http://blog.xkcd.com/2011/02/04/trochee-chart/ http://blog.xkcd.com/2011/02/04/trochee-chart/

    Lol. My surprises of the day were toogeo and talkik. I think I have a knack for finding these. I should charge. :) Ooh, talkic is even better. It's like talk and topic!
