Pick a clever domain name with Domainr



In the past, you might have used one site to come up with a slick web address that uses a fancy top-level domain, and then another one to see whether your new creation is available. Domainr condenses the whole process into one step. Put in a word, and it will return possible domain names and tell you whether they're available.
