Two things I don't get about this site (and I like the idea in theory):

1. It doesn't seem to check for domain name availability, so a good portion of the names suggested would be very expensive to buy

2. What is to stop some unscrupulous person from sitting on the site, spotting the best names, registering them before the 'ask for help' expires, and then squatting on them / selling them for a profit?
