It's like Instant Domain Search taken to the next level - give it some words and it'll help you find something. Sorting by length and readability are great ideas.

well, there goes another one of my startup ideas... I suppose there's room for more than one in the market, though, as it's an implementation game.

Once you have a few domain names picked, you can use http://www.DomainGrader.com (still in alpha) to see what score it gets.

Excellent. Goes to show that even when there are great products in the market (like pcnames.com and instantdomainsearch.com), someone will come up with something better.

That's a good one - but upon testing it does produce a lot of domains quickly that are similar, using only a few of the list of keywords in some cases. Still worth my upvote tho.

What makes it even more amazing is that it has a business model. Great to see a fresh, simple and smart execution of a useful tool.

wow! that thing is simply amazing - I remember just a month ago we did a domain hunt for our app, and it was so slow and frustrating. But with this I found a couple of great names in a matter of minutes! Definitely goes to my favs!
