Wordoid.com is a webapp that helps you come up with a catchy name for your product, company or domain.

It makes up new words that are unlikely to appear in a dictionary. It knows how to create words in several languages: English, Spanish, French and Italian at the moment. It is even able to create words in imaginary "languages", constructed by blending two or more real languages together.

I would appreciate your feedback!

P.S. This is the second time I would like to ask you to review wordoid.com here at HN.

The first review, located at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=621855, gave me lots of ideas and suggestions, that I believe made the webapp a little better:

1) The user interface got an overhaul and became much more user-friendly.

2) Domain availability checks are more precise now, and .net domain check is added.

3) The webapp works faster now.

Thanks go to JunkDNA, matt1, nwjsmith, oskarpearson, pierrefar, philh, papa, yummyfajitas,and all the other guys who posted their comments.

Wordoid.com checks domain availability by querying a DNS server. This is not completely accurate, since some domains don't have DNS records. The right way is to query a whois server. That's tough, because i don't know of any whois servers that would allow me send bulk queries.

The website received about 3500 visitors during 12 hours after I posted this review request here on HN. Thank you guys! Thanks HN! It has been way more than I expected!

There's a bottleneck somewhere in the algorithm that creates wordoids. That's why wordoid.com is irresponsive sometimes. The webserver and the database seem to run smoothly.
