slopier.com: Are you a hardcore skiing enthusiast? We'll find the steepest slopes in your area.
Edit: I don't know anything about skiing, so I don't know if steeper slopes are actually more fun. It's just what the word "slopier" brought to mind for me.
Variation: play it with domains names that are actually in use and you'll get two games for the price of one!
Game #1: like you said
Game #2: pick three answers from Game #1, combine with the actual product under the given domain name, and have players guess which one is the correct one.
Obviously, you'd need two different groups of players.
Very curious to hear about the training set for these. If I had to guess, someone scraped GoDaddy/Google Domains/Namecheap for the "premium domains" that are being squatted on and then trained a language model on that corpus. Hopefully the OP can provide details!
It looks to me like it is finding nonsense words that are pronounceable to English speakers and then checking if that nonsense word is available. I assume a linguist programmer could create an algorithm to come up with pronounceable words.
Is there a word for a nonsense word that is pronounceable? A potential word?
There's more to it than just pronounceable. e.g. I got tranclitic, mysothelium, gurnt,
1. tran- looks like reanalysis of words that begin with trans-, and we often pronounce the -s with the start of the root word. Clitic is a word in and of itself.
2. myso- is a rare Greek prefix, thelium means nipple. Unfortunately, together it would suggest nipple of dirt.
3. There's a low-scored urbandictionary entry for gurnt, but that's about it.
I think there's some knowledge of morpheme-like objects in the AI.
Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot these days). My 2c.
In your experience of speculating, have you come across any data about the frequency of people actually typing out domain names? I seem to be typing them less and less over time.
Are we headed towards a business phone number 515-555-5555.com being a totally sufficient unique domain name? And then well why not just skip TLDs and share IP addresses?
It's the case in China, that's one the thing that I really didn't expect when I went there, you had giant ads on building with 2038-232-423.cn (that's just random numbers, but you get the idea).
If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. They're almost completely unexplored and I personally see no downside (except typing the domain in a mobile keyboard but who types domains anyways).
I consult for a business with a hyphen in the name. Not recommended, as its a constant source of confusion for customers.
It might be fine for a personal site etc, but be mindful that lots of people still don't understand that websites other than .com exist (i.e. don't get a .io domain if you want to sell to the general public).
Typing a domain or having a preference for a browser, perhaps more IT in background, is a huge generational gap. EDIT as I seem to be a computer! Let me explain a recent conversation, one of several, that illustrated this. /EDIT
Chatting with a friend that wants an app for his small business, just a 3 page app with a contact form: His clients are mainly 20s, mainly early 20s, not particularly technical. Most (so, around 60% of his client base) comment "Why no app." Most would have never have much recall of RSS.
He's 35, I'm around the same generation "Why do they need this? It's a front page and contact form, all communication then goes by email or Facebook." He said all about discovery and stickiness. Smart guy, certainly has a plan to increase stickiness with push notifications of articles/promoting his business. An interesting conversation.
Also brings to mind my first email address, which used an underscore! In my defense, it was a hotmail address created circa 1998, before there were strong norms for such things...
> If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens.
You mean the minus sign? Few know how to type the actual unicode hyphen with the keyboard. Not to be confused with dash, but short or long one?... and here start your problems.
We've developed the mechanisms for time travel, and are showcasing how to do so on our website...er, sorry, have to make a minor CSS adjustment <clicks refresh on browser> ...Um, ok, wait, maybe now; try it now! Hmmm...well, it works on my firefox, what version of Safari are you on? Interesting. Have you refreshed your local cache?
...Meanwhile. lab assistant hops into time travel booth (while lead scientist fiddles with css), going back in time, and removing css from history, and pushing gemini as main "web platform" instead of the web that we know today. ;-)

"helloworld.blue" sounds completely worthless to me. Even "hello.blue" - who would buy that for more than a few hundred dollars, and for what?

Are you thinking that everyone only gets to sites from actual hyperlinks rather than via human speech?
I feel like everyone around me will Google whenever they hear about a cool app, website, store, product etc.
or we're charting online or talking on Zoom and they'll just send me the link directly
I'm not sure what the purpose of a URL is anymore... unless you're this guy [1]

Seems like about ~1% of the top 500 websites use a hyphen in domain.
Also brings to mind my first email address, which used an underscore! In my defense, it was a hotmail address created circa 1998, before there were strong norms for such things...

No matter how far you advance in the field you will still need to google how to center a div

Cool idea, wish I could make out what the domains I was getting said.
