Domain Tool of the Week: Impulse Domain Lookup Tool

This Domain Tool of the Week has simply blown me away.

Courtesy of The Mad Hat, the domain industry will flip over this Firefox extension that makes it super easy to lookup domain names. The extension lets you perform one click domain searches at your registrar of choice using the selected text in your browser window. Let me repeat that...the extension lets you perform one click domain searches at your registrar of choice using the selected text in your browser window.

It's named the Impulse Domain Lookup Tool and it's freaking sweet.

1. Highlight the text you want to look up.

2. Right-click and select "domain lookup"

The extension will normalize the text, removing spaces and other illegal characters etc, then launch a new tab/window to search for the domain at your favourite registrar.

3. Choose registrar and search. That's it.

Excerpt from The Mad Hat:

"I’ve been beta testing a Domain Lookup Firefox extension from Richard Kershaw at Quality Nonsense. I renamed it the “Impulse Domain Lookup Tool”. Say you’re reading a story in the CNN technology section on wireless earphones and decide you want to check real quick to see if wirelessearbuds.com is available. All it takes is a right click or keyboard shortcut to open a new window and query the registrar of your choice."
