As Antony posts on his Names@Work blog, DomainsBot released some new tools today.

Here’s a quick summary of the tools (from Antony’s blog). I would prepare a closer look at the details, but I have to get ready for my short trip to Vancouver.

• WordTrends — shows the popularity of keywords within domain names over time. Look at one word or compare several.
• DomainStats — Two in-depth studies that look at how length, number of keywords, and parts of speech affect value in the secondary domain name market, with surprising results.
• SearchCloud — An easy-to-use dynamic visual cloud that suggests new available domain names based on relations between keywords in existing domain names. Hard to explain, easy to use, addictive.
• Split-It — Is the phrase “domainsnow” really “domains now” or “domain snow” or “do mains now”? Split-It shows you all the possibilities and rates the results.
• Shadow — If you want to help DomainsBot produce more good stuff, download Shadow and it will use your idle time to crunch data. There’s no spying, snooping, or any of that, but if you’re security-obsessed this probably isn’t the application for you. I have it running on my laptop, though.
