Cool Domain Name Tools…

Ever struggled coming up with an original domain name? I know I have

Here are a few sites that will help you come up with great domain names!

First is Makewords which will generate names and check availability for you.

Next is DomainsBot which I really like. It always seems to come up with great names and suggests good alternative words when yours are taken.

The Name Creator tool at Homepage Universe is very easy to use but always seems to come up with a least a few great sounding names.

Finally, the Web 2.0 Name Generator at LightSphere is good fun. It comes up with some great sounding names even if they aren’t always available!

“What is Twitter” I hear you ask? Well for those of you who have been living under a rock since it’s launch in July 2006, Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (called Tweets).

Tweets are text-based posts up to 140 characters long. They can be made via SMS, instant messenger, e-mail, through the Twitter website, via the address bar in Firefox with the TwitterBar plugin or via an application such as Twitterrific (which at the present time is Mac only).

Twitter was founded in March 2006 by San Francisco start-up company Obvious Corp.

Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and also instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default).

You can even follow me on Twitter but only if you’re very very very bored…
