I implemented an AJAX interface to IlohaMail's message listing so that common operations like deleting, flagging, moving, and applying filters can be performed without reloading the page. I need to find out which browser+versions work so I can ensure the DHTML interface only gets served out if the user is on a compatible browser. (Read extended text for testing instructions.)

Finding a good name is probably the most difficult thing about starting a new project, but also quite vital (word-of-mouth doesn't work when someone says "I found this really cool thing... but I can't remember what it was called!").

Anyway, over the years, I've made some observations on good domain names, and I present the following conjecture.

Ryo's Conjecture on Good Domain Names:

• A domain name can be sensical or non-sensical.
  
• A sensical domain name must be:
  
  
  
  • comprised of no more than 2 common words (or word fragments)
    
  • which are memorable and easy to spell
    
  • at least one of which is relevant to the project/service/site
    
  
  
• A nonsensical name must be:
  
  
  
  • Preferrably less than 6, no more than 8 letters long
    
  • Be spelled pretty much exactly how it sounds
    
  
  
• The Dotcom might've been a bust, but .com is here to stay; if you can't get the .com domain, forget about it.
