- The Dot-o-mator: I published a post a while back about the importance of naming your company early on. After not having followed my own advice for the past two weeks (and after suffering one of the pitfalls I'd predicted at a VC conference) I decided to get it over with. Enter the Dot-o-mator. This is a fantastic web-app that helps you generate a list of names and then automatically check for domain name availability. The programmer let's you specify the prefix/suffix and then lets you merge this with prefixes/suffixes from selected categories. So for example, if you are creating a sports website an want a 'Tech' name, you get results like soccercast, soccerfeed, soccerwire, etc. etc. etc. The author did a great job in thinking up all of the popular suffixes that are out there and then categorizing them. A lot of fun, very easy, give it a shot.
- Dilbert Mission Statement Generator: I get the feeling that I'm one of the few people in the world who hadn't seen this before, but in case there are more of me out there this is a must-see web app. Guy Kawasaki referred to this as a way to 'save $25,000', making fun of how inane corporate mission statements are. I think it's really clever and amusing. Enjoy.

Check out http://www.namecombo.com It's a really cool domain name generator and company name generator similar to Dotomator but with more word lists and the ability to create domain names with 1-4 words. You can find available domain names from a huge selection of word lists. You can customize lists with your own words which lets you come up with literally thousands of possible domain names incorporating your keywords if you wish. It offers bulk domain name lookup and domain registration. There is also both a three word version and four word version which are great for keyword driven domain name variations.
Thanks for the pointer Laura! Very cool app indeed!
