Thank you, Ben! As to the money, revenue source is the affiliation with domain registrars (GoDaddy, etc).


This feature is going be implemented soon. Stay tuned!


Thanks for pointing this out. Iceweasel browser made the font a little bigger than expected. I will try to fix that.


Thanks for pointing this out!


You're welcome. Konqueror's a pretty marginal browser, but I use it for about 95% of my home browsing (and Firefox for the rest, which copes happily with your site).


akamaka, which browser do you use?


Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 9


Thanks for your suggestion, Dave!


I came back to read through the comments and realised I never actually complimented you on a job well done!

I’ve bookmarked the site and will definitely use it for my next project—I always find picking a name and domain a pain.


Thank you, Dave!


Thank you, Scott, this is a great idea! I like it, and I'm going to think on it.


Wordoid.com is a webapp that helps you come up with a catchy name for your product, company or domain.

It makes up new words that are unlikely to appear in a dictionary. It knows how to create words in several languages: English, Spanish, French and Italian at the moment. It is even able to create words in imaginary "languages", constructed by blending two or more real languages together.

I would appreciate your feedback!

P.S. This is the second time I would like to ask you to review wordoid.com here at HN.

The first review, located at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=621855, gave me lots of ideas and suggestions, that I believe made the webapp a little better:

1) The user interface got an overhaul and became much more user-friendly.

2) Domain availability checks are more precise now, and .net domain check is added.

3) The webapp works faster now.

Thanks go to JunkDNA, matt1, nwjsmith, oskarpearson, pierrefar, philh, papa, yummyfajitas,and all the other guys who posted their comments.


Maybe you should list those implemented ideas if you honestly want them reviewed?


Added a short list of major improvements. Thanks!


Thank you for your extensive feedback, JunkDNA! I will take your suggestions into account while making the webapp better.


Wordoid.com checks domain availability by querying a DNS server. This is not completely accurate, since some domains don't have DNS records. The right way is to query a whois server. That's tough, because i don't know of any whois servers that would allow me send bulk queries.
