Trouble Finding A Good Domain Name? Try These Domain Tools

search-domain
Worried about finding a good domain name? All one letter and even good 2 – 3 letter domains have been registered and you’re searching for a good domain for your next project. Don’t worry there are still good domains available, all you have to do is be creative and use a good domain suggestion tool. I still manage to register some good domain names with help of these tools.
Bust A Name is at top of these tools. Bust a Name suggests available domain names based on user-defined keywords.
After you add keywords, the tool suggests different available domains using your keywords and suggests synonyms to increase your possibilities. Bust a Name also has a dynamic search a la previously mentioned Instant Domain Search. If you’ve ever tried snagging a descriptive domain, you probably know that finding an unparked domain is a challenge. Bust a Name provides a nice set of tools for finding a good domain without resorting to gibberish and hyphens.
Domain hacks lets you find a domain that combines domain labels, especially the top-level domain (TLD), to spell out the full “name” or title of the domain, making a kind of pun, for example del.icio.us
MakeWords.com has advanced query features that allow you to refine your domain query for starting with, ending with, max letters, language rules random names and more and believe me it works like a magic.
Just Dropped is a website where you can search recently deleted domain names. You can find some good domain names from these recently deleted domain names but beware that there is a chance that you are going to register a domain name banned from search engines or black listed in Adsense.
DomainsBot is a domain search engine, give you suggestions and show availability of domain names. I’d personally used DomainsBot to find some really good domain names. It gives you an inline ajax auto complete feature for searching domain names.
What if your creative sense is dried up? Don’t worry use Word Mixer Enter 5 words and get 2-3 syllable results or use Dot-o-mator for mixing letters and to make up your own words and make up a nifty Web 2.0 domain name.
Split It! Before you finally register a domain name try Split It! It visually shows you how your domain name string will be split. Use this to avoid getting an accidentally funny domain name.

Domain Name Hierarchy

I've been buying a few domains lately, and what with the scarcity of a good .com domain I've been forced to consider what the alternatives are. For us in the UK, the .co.uk domain has just as wide acceptance as the .com - but what about the other TLDs?
Here's a rundown - in descending order of desirability. Something to consider before you go ahead and register the domain for your next killer site!
.com
The granddaddy of the internet boom, .com is the TLD to have - assuming it's not already been taken, of course!
.net & .org
The two other non-country specific TLDs are always nicec to get, if you can - they lack the familiarity of a .com, and for some sites that simply won't do, but for certain applications or audiences a good, short & easy to remember .net or .org address can be very effective.
.co.uk
If you're targeting a UK (or any other relevant country, for that matter), then the country specific commercial domain is another good choice - good enough for Modern Life, in fact - and in the UK at least, the .co.uk domain has a similar level of saturation in the commercial sector as the global .com.
.org.uk
Although relatively new, the .org.uk domain is quite desirable - not as much as .co.uk, nor .org, but compared to the rest of the newer TLDs- this one has potential.
.us
Made popular by del.icio.us, the .us TLD is great for those targeting a primarily US-based market, but lacks the appeal of a good .com.
.eu
Although not in widespread use, the newer .eu domain is limited in usefulness to countries within Europe - but if your business trades exclusively in this region, the .eu TLD is short and easy to remember - and it's a lot easier to get hold of a good .eu domain than a half-decent .com!
.biz, .info
Unfortunately, early adoption by spammers and other less reputable sites have sullied the .biz and .info domains somewhat. I'm surprised no-one has registered 'made-for-adsense.info' - perhaps that's too obvious?
.me.uk
As with the more global .name (see below), .me.uk is intended for individuals, and for that purpose it's ideal - unfortunately, it's suitable for only that purpose.
.name
Intended for individual use, .name hasn't really caught on, and so lacks the awareness of other TLDs. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, either...
all others
There are hundreds of other country-specific and industry-specific domains available, but most lack the recognition required outside of the country in question, so for a global site it's safer to stick to a generic TLD. Some country codes have gained limited acceptance in niche areas, such as the Federated States of Micronesia (.fm) for music sites, Tuvalu (.tv) for TV sites, and to a less useful extent, the Cocos (Keeling) islands (.cc). Unless you're desperately short of ideas, these should be avoided as they can cause confusion with your visitors.
To recap, the domain you choose has more ramifications than just search engine performance - in theory, SEs view all TLDs equally. The problem with strange TLDs is that:
  1. They can confuse visitors
  2. They're more difficult to remember than the ubiquitous .com
  3. They can make you look less reputable than you actually are.
All of which certainly can affect your long-term site rankings. Stick to the good domains, if they haven't all been taken.

Wi-Fi connection now available with Southwest airline

After a number of delays, the discount U.S. airline has signed a deal with Row 44 to become the latest carrier to offer wireless Internet access in the cabins of its airliners.
Southwest Airlines has ordered equipment for an in-flight Wi-Fi service and will start deploying it on planes in the second quarter of this year.
Southwest airline Wi Fi connection now available with Southwest airline
Southwest has made its name as a no-frills airline and will be adding Wi-Fi after several other U.S. airlines have at least begun their deployments.
For example, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines all provide the service on some planes, and the smaller AirTran Airways and Virgin America offer it throughout their fleets.
Southwest won’t allow voice calls over the Internet and will filter inappropriate content by preventing passengers from visiting certain sites. Google sponsored a promotion that made Wi-Fi free on Virgin America and in 47 airports around the country.
