It's tough to get traction on HN for certain things. Also, if you think about it people don't want other people to know what domain names are available "just in case".

There are currently 26 three letter words/common acronyms left. List available here for a small fee http://andio.herokuapp.com

Posting the same comment 4 times trying to sell a list is just ridiculous.

One comment was enough.

Yeah, it was probably a little much. The site has been up for quite a long time and I thought it might useful given the circumstances. Should I have linked to it more than once? Probably not.

Processed the Scrabble dictionary for all 3-letter words acceptable in U.S. Club and Tournament Play as of 2009.

Among which 283 are available .io domains:

That's lame - $20 for this list? What's the likelihood one can actually register one of the 3 letter domains for a typical reg fee and not some huge cost?

Here is one list of short .io names:

and here is another:

are.io bow.io cot.io cry.io dew.io dip.io dye.io ear.io egg.io fee.io fry.io had.io hem.io hid.io hut.io jug.io lid.io lie.io lip.io men.io mop.io mow.io oar.io ore.io pit.io rag.io ray.io rib.io rid.io rot.io sod.io toe.io tow.io tug.io was.io won.io yaw.io

I did not bother to verify availability.

Ha you beat me to it.

Just a note: That list may be out of date. I see my domain (fry.io) on there, and I registered that a good few months ago :p

[Gertig]

Not sure why it's lame for it to cost $20, is it because you could build it yourself?

[samstave]

ALL domains available on all TLDs should be listed freely.

Charging for access to information like this is deplorable. Just because you can does not mean you should.
