I really like the similar suggestion. I am not sure of the "Lets be friends" in red text in the bottom of the search. The social buttons might be enough. Besides cleaning up the layout, its really good.

thanks. glad u liked it

Here's a bug I found after scrolling down a bit: http://i.imgur.com/m1BSY.png

strange, i was not able to replicate it, trying the same query. thanks, will look into it.

I selected several TLDs if that helps.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The tool suggested i.pe domain to me as available. My company is called IPe and I got extremely excited... But, no deal. The domain is already taken.

sorry, there seems to be some issue with some tlds.

also, .bd domains cannot be purchased exclusively. You need to prefix com/net/org before the bd TLD

1) Available domains totally broken. Searched for "auction" - it told me auction.com was available, as well as sell.com, sale.com, etc

2) Unlike domai.nr, it will send me to an affiliate (obviously the purpose of the site) even if they don't handle that particular TLD (for example, GoDaddy and .ly)

It suggested some .er domains, which can't actually be purchased, that I'm aware of anyway.

i see, will fix it. thanks

Same issue with .ly domains

.com sometimes does not work because of burst load. i am working on adding more registrar for those tlds.

thanks

This looks pretty cool, but I also have the impression that we may be DDoS'ing some service by 'burst' searching through this tool. Is it the case?

I tried it and it told me a domain was available, I click through, select godaddy only to be told that it was already taken.
