namesbot – aimbot domain name checker

June 21, 2006

I’ve been wanting to do an aimbot for years. I haven’t done one since around 2001 or so, and all I remember is I kept getting kicked off the network. Perhaps I will get kicked off again! If so, I think yahoo is better about opening up their network these days…

Anyway, if you have AIM, hit the ‘namesbot’ handle to check a domain name availability. Use ‘check domainname.tld’ as the syntax. Right now it’s not fancy – just a yes/no response. If a domain is available, there’s a link to a registrar where I’ll get a small referral fee. Please register through them if you’d like to support this proof-of-concept project. Feedback is appreciated.
