Finding Great Domain Names with Mechanical Turk

Does anyone else find it ironic that the site selling the idea that you need a short (<6 letter) domain has a 12-letter domain name (domainpigeon.com)?

Matt, your site is crawling :( Perhaps you're getting to many HITs :)

Nice pun! I've been very happy with Dreamhost, but the shared hosting does present problems when there is a lot of traffic. It's a good problem to be having...

The "guest" links don't work.

The key is for the domain to be memorable. If you stick two words together, especially ones that normally don't belong together, like domain and pigeon, you make it memorable. If you don't stick two words together and you want something more... web 2.0ish... then you're much better off sticking with something short than something long.

Can you clarify which one you mean?
