NameFuse 2.0

Today marks the launch of a new version of the site, with a slick new interface. The combination engine has been ported from server-side PHP to client-side javascript, and now the only server call is an asynchronous request to check which domains are available. This has some advantages for you pro users who like to throw the site hundreds of new combinations at a time. Now NameFuse will seamlessly update results after every term you enter. This speeds up querying by spreading domain lookups across several smaller groups. I've also added some spiffy script.aculo.us effects to highlight newly formed combinations, and written a simple demo to help new users get started.

There's some more cool stuff in the pipeline, including synonym suggestions, registration price comparisons, and a developer API. Keep an eye on this page and our new discussion group for updates!
