First post on HN, but definitely familiar with GoDaddy reputation (SOPA stance, some think GoDaddy sucks, etc). I've thought about this. May offer other registrar options for the GoDaddy haters.

Great ideas also! Will add to the feature enhancements list.

A tagline to draw interest is a good suggestion! Will consider adding one.

The domain names are retrieved from expired domain lists published daily (various sources). I wrote a backend script to check domain name availability with a Whois lookup (runs every 2 hours for updates). At any given time, a random sampling of a larger domain set is available on the site for quick shuffling.

I am always on the hunt for good domain names. Keyword search is a start, but I've always wanted to just browse random domain names to spark ideas. Built this quick web app in a weekend to shuffle through expired domain names which are available for registration.
