Meet Dotcom Thing, a playful and nerdy generator for .com names. You will be delighted to find out how many catchy .com domains are still there for you to register. The app has only two buttons. The blue one to check .com availability and a big yellow button to create a new word. Okay, there's also a green Buy button. And a monochrome Clear History button. If you are still here you should stop reading and try it out.
