It seems that meaningless (but short) domain names like “meebo” and “cuil” are all the rage. But what if you want to jump on the Web2.0 bandwagon only to find that all the domain names you want are already taken? Well, don’t worry, just use Markov-Chains to generate your own “unique” domain name!
If you want your domain name to be pronounceable/memorizable, it should have the same statistical properties as English words. That means that the letter combinations in your domain name should be reasonably frequently present in English text. If you have “xdf”, for example, no one will know how to pronounce it.
