The best part about this site is figuring out what exactly might be a good use for things like creepy.io :)

There really ought to be a contest like this. Who ever wins gets the domain

What about a hackathon or something where they give your team a product name and you have to build something fitting?

Love it! Simple, clean and really useful. Do you plan to keep adding words as time goes on?

Yep, I plan on adding more words and some additional domain extensions. Follow me on twitter for updates: twitter.com/justinthiele

Done :)

In the URL: words?utf8=✓ Nicely done.

can I ask what exactly that is doing? some kind of capability test for utf8?

Basically, if the GET variable returns a check/tick, then they support UTF-8. Otherwise, no.

It's funny how product ideas pop up once you see a certain name.

This is the reason why I have over 30 domains :(

It used to be more, I let a lot of them expire over the last year

Any chance to opensource this? Will be very useful for implementing in another languages and non-english countries.

I find that can be a quick way to think up solutions without problems!

This is like the holy grail for domain squatters - hopefully they don't read HN. Also, mad props on the "domain hack" feature.

Actually people who are knowledgeable in the domain business do not waste time speculating with .me .io .cc .whatever because the market is so limited to resale. Chance of selling one of those is exceedingly slim.

Many .io and .me domains have sold for 5 figures. buy.me went for over $155,000. I have personally sold many for 4 figures.
