758 remaining potential NNNNN.com wordnumbers

By the time you read this all NNNNN.com's will be gone. On the afternoon of February 12, 2008, we put up a list of 3,034 potential wordnumbers, each with a link to Google Number Search like this 74894.com

Below is what we also wrote for people scanning the list:

Dotcom wordnumbers are pure numeric URLs that spell generic words or brands on a phone keypad. Popular .com wordnumbers include 466453.com (Google) and 242242.com (ChaCha).

Use phonespell.org or DigitURL.com to determine if a numeric domain is a wordnumber for a popular brand or generic word.

Numeric domains should contain at least one 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 to be a potential wordnumber (and spell something). Three consecutive digits not containing one of these vowel-digits is probably a dud wordnumber - not worth buying.

Here are the NNNNN.com's and hyperlinks to the 'allnum' function in Google, which is the best method for determining if a numeric domain matches with a brand/generic wordnumber or, if not, some other popular use of that number. (see footnote at bottom about 'allnum')

NONE LEFT

Footnote: the 'allnum' operator will apply Google Number Search (GNS) to a numeric string. After poor user adoption of the premature mobile product launched in 1999, Google discontinued Google Number Search in 2000. 'Allnum,' a leftover experimental function from that era, matches queries to an outdated lexicon (stored on a computer at Google, Inc.) that contains common words from the year 2000. The lexicon hasn't been updated since then. For instance, 24648527 won't translate to Cingular, which was formed in 2001. Therefore, companies and some generic words 'launched', 'invented' or popularized since 2000 will not show up using 'allnum'. Allnum, however, is still the best method for ranking wordnumber translations for numeric domains.
