Hey, if you buy one of these domain names please let me know!
I bought rap.io
But now I don't know what to build there.

#42I wanted sum.io, but I was too slow. Did anybody here get it?

Heh, I tried, too. Managed to snag gum.io though.

#44What registrars sell .IO domains?

Just don't use Moniker in this case as their dates mismatch and can cause trouble: http://peterc.org/blog/2010/345-moniker-deactivation.html

#45I'm too cheap to get it, but I think that threep.io is a perfect domain... ;)
Sorry, I registered it. Once the process is finished it will join my nerd-flock and redirect to my professional site unless I decide to make something for it. :)

I now registered pie.io instead. I hope I didn't waste another 70€ on domain squatting...
Here is my idea: simple polls for Twitter. There is twtpoll, but it is not actually very good in my opinion.
The pie will hopefully remind people of pie charts... Also, it allows for the tag line "polls easy as pie".
What do you think?
Would welcome feedback, also perhaps suggestions for better names (it is difficult for non-native speakers).

#47I thought I'd spend a few lines in irb and implement two.io for you right here in a comment ;-) Here are the available two letter io names from /usr/share/dict/words, /usr/bin commands, and bash builtins:
ah.io, ay.io, di.io, ea.io, ey.io, fa.io, fc.io, fe.io, fg.io, ha.io, he.io, ju.io, ka.io, oe.io, or.io, ow.io, pu.io, ra.io, te.io, ti.io, tu.io, ut.io, wa.io, wi.io, wu.io, wy.io, ya.io, ym.io, yn.io, yr.io, du.io, ld.io, lp.io, m4.io, nm.io, wc.io
UPDATE: It just struck me that two letter domains might be rather hard to register. I'm looking at the T&Cs now. It is notable how many are marked as being registered in the WHOIS though.
UPDATE 2: Neither of the third party registrars I tried allowed two letter .io domains but the central nic.io does.
UPDATE 3: I visited rb.io (which I wanted ;-)) and found this blog post of just a cpl weeks ago on the same topic: http://www.russellbeattie.com/blog/two-letter-io-domains-ava...

#48Two-letter ones are 'cooler' - we grabbed ep.io a few months back - but the NIC don't allow language or country codes as two letter domains, IIRC. Still, there's plenty left, as petercooper's comment says.

It's pretty rare a NIC allows two letter domains so it might be a general limitation, but they are possible. Either that, or our domain (ep) is just a very persistent hallucination.
