OMFG, is Facebook down? Twitter? Oh noes! Check out WebsiteDown.net – it’s basically a url checker. I went looking for a site like this the other day when one particular large site was down all freaking day. It’s clever, simple, and SEO’d pretty well. I don’t think they are going to make any money, but whatever.
As I’ve mentioned before, I hate looking for new domains. The process is tedious and infuriating. But at least now I have a site that makes the process a little better: www.domarama.com. Results are returned instantly in a variety of tlds, which is really nice. Check it out!

Does anybody have any good domain parking solutions? I dumped a dozen of my unused domains on the free Sedo domain parking, and so far in the past week I’ve made a whopping $0.02. I’m not retiring soon on my parking income, that’s for sure.
Any good ideas or suggestions out there?
My least favorite task is coming up with domain names. I do way too much of it, and it always infuriates me. I come up with the perfect, clever name and some squatter already owns it and is charging far too much for it. Really, you think $4000 is a fair price for filereportdinosaur.com? (That’s a terrible name, btw.) Argh.
Edit: I met a guy that sold me a domain for a very fair price. So maybe domainers aren’t all bad.
