Domain name entrepreneur?

I found out a very interesting website today - www.entrepreneur.com
Its name (very apropriately and conveniently chosen) made me think about how good domain names are chosen.
I’ve had my share of domain name hunting, and I know that by now all english words in the dictionary are already out there with a .com tail!
Anyone who’s tried to register a domain recently knows what I’m talking about ;)
Then I found out about the concept of “domain hack“, and immediately thought of some very cool ones (cyb.org, profit.net, anic.org, inter.com, ze.ro) Obviously, all taken!!
I started playing a bit with perl scripts and word lists, trying to find a real good one, that was still free. Then I found something better:
www.domainsbot.com and www.morewords.com Using these two nifty little sites it bound to make your domain name search a lot easier, albeit probably not much less frustrating…:D

If by this point you haven’t started wondering what the deal with my domain name is, no worries - I’ll tell you anyway!
Torego is a six letter word, made up of 3 sillables, each sillable being a consonant-vowel pair. DUH!
It’s also easy to remember, easy to pronounce in most languages, sounds cool (to my ears at least - being modest again) and might I state this again: only six letters…
That’s it.

Oh, and apparently there is an extraordinary market for good domain names out there, with some selling in the ranges of 6 zeros and 9 digit numbers
