I like the look, it is clean and simple.
One small glitch: it seems that on the page http://boardlite.com/category/computers/list/ some vertical gray border is missing on the left side of "1 post" and "16 views", where the light blue headline becomes narrower and says "Tracking ID: 400000001" etc. Same problem on the FAQ page at http://boardlite.com/faq/ ...
Page load speed: instead of http://boardlite.com/media/js/lib/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js you could use http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min..., see http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/ for details.

Point taken. I have now integrated the display of taken (and parked and error) top level domains again, trying to make it useful but not too distracting.

Writing may help you more than reading, especially if you can find somebody to give feedback. Maybe start a blog or contribute to a magazine?
I'm not a native English speaker, but here's some feedback for you: I would say "advice" (always singular) rather than "advices".

I call myself "Founder" in the context of my current solo project, even if that project is not really a "startup" or "company".
As the legal term I use "Sole Proprietor": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_proprietorship

Thank you, I see what you mean. The headline wraps because the font is too wide on Ubuntu (in Firefox too), hope to fix it soon.

My interactive search engine for short available domains:
http://www.nxdom.com/
I'm working to bring the advanced weighted sort order back, but optional so that new users can play with the simple sort order until they understand what it does. Work in progress is here, and full source code: http://master.latest.scoretool.appspot.com/ http://github.com/jcrocholl/nxdom
My 2-year-old son doesn't want to go to sleep yet, so he's climbing around on me while I write this.

Good question, so I wrote a blog post: http://nxdom.posterous.com/why-is-nxdom-open-source
Comment · 17 years ago
Yes, that was the previous version that I announced here on January 1st. I figured that usability is more important than fine-grained control over the score weights, because the sort order is not terribly critical. Basically, the user should be able to adjust the trade-off between short and popular names. But it's a brainstorming tool, we're not trying to get one particular name to the very top of the list.

Because it's a search engine for short names, using a large database of unused and expired domain names. Try searching for "hack" + "ne", or "hack" + "e" for even more results.

Actually, I have now enabled the search indexes for the following prefix+suffix combinations: 4+1, 3+2, 3+1, 2+1, 2+2, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+3, 1+4. I may add longer combinations later, but for now they will be shortened and filtered, e.g. 5+3 will use cached 4+1 and then filter the results in the browser with JavaScript.
I'm also building an interactive search engine for short available domains: http://www.nxdom.com/
