Nice tool, although the results seem to be a bit incorrect in some situations. I've searched for "hotel" and got a nice list of "available" domains, but some of them were already registered (eg. hotelbit.com, hotelartist.com, buzzhotel.com)

Good thing is I also got some very interesting domain names which were indeed available, so kudos for the nice work.

Something similar could be useful for foreign language learning. Say you're learning Swahili and want to know how a phrase / word is pronounced, you would enter the text on a website and have it spoken to you by a native person.

This could be a service offered with a fixed subscription and implemented through Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

Same here. I just started to get out of it, this is how I'm trying:

1. I made a list with all my (good!) projects ideas 2. I tried to estimate how long each would take to have a Minimum Viable Product ready for launch 3. I chose the one with the shortest time estimate 4. I split the whole project in tiny todo items (things you can do in a few hours: like "create the sitemap", "create the db structure", "outline the homepage", "make that script" etc) 5. I put the list on my desktop in a long Stickie 6. I commit to myself to mark as done at least one todo each day

And it seems to work, I'm halfway through my project now.

"If you don’t experience an ounce of empathy there’s something wrong with you".

Really? Like stealing content should be forgiven as long as you're "sorry" for it and, especially, if you're not the target.

I remember TC's reaction against the company that "stole" them the CrunchPad idea or something like that. Isn't stealing content the same thing, after all? Maybe the dimensions are different, but the underlying truth is the same. Stealing is bad. Bad in general and bad for the Internet.

Karate Kid :)

Now serios:

The Godfather: makes you feel everything is possible

A Good Year: feel-good movie, but I think it really shows why we really struggle. I mean what's the point in having millions if you don't know what to do with them.
