Dictionary Domains

Posted Jul 20, 2002
I updated my Dictionary Domain page, a list of all available com/org/net domains that are words in the English dictionary. As domain squatters slowly shrivel up and die, these domains are finally getting released back into the wild. The good .com domains are still scarce, but there's plenty of great .org and .nets available. Some of my favorites from this round are below. (turd.org!)

drat.org
flab.org
