First of all I think this is awesome! But my question is, the system looks ready...If I pay now, why do I have to wait till April?


There's a bit more to do before it's ready. Your card won't be charged until you start the beta, so signing up just reserves your spot as a founding user. Thanks!


Signed up!


Great job and super fast results.

It's great to have tons of inputs and tons of results, but we need a tool to get all these great results into a funnel that at the end you can easily spot a great name.

Suggestions:

1) Modifiers to minimize results like max chars in the domain name.

2) Take the word or phrase the person typed in and throw it into reverse dictionary [1] and then take those results and re-run them through your site (ditto for thesaurus.com).

3) Option to remove a result when one word ends and another starts with the same letter and try reversing to see if available (ie ramppart.com).

4) Option to include tons of different mythology dictionaries [2] and include names where definitions include the user's inputed word/phrase.

Great suggestions -- thank you.

I just added an option to sort by length, which should take care of #1. #3 is also a great idea -- I'll see what I can do.

Can you walk me through how #2 would work in practice?


Definitely worth it. The best write up I've seen explaining the pro's and con's of an Aeron is here: <http://www.amazon.com/review/R1MUWGLPM341EB/ref=cm_cr_dp_per...;

I was also doing this research and definitely Aeron is the way to go. My other chair after sitting in it for hours caused my lower back to hurt. If you sit for hours on end working like most of us here, Aeron is the only choice.

Like Staunch said, make sure to get the lower lumbar support "Pad" not the "PostureFit" option. The above link explains why PostureFit is more or less useless even though it is a few bucks cheaper.

Hope that helps!


Wow, that is a great write-up.
