use malcolmx to search for domain names from the command line

The other day I stumbled upon instantdomainsearch.com. It’s the best among the domain name checking apps I have used till now. It’s very zippy and has a clean interface.

It has just one limitation, it allows you to search domains one at a time. And if you have a bunch of domain names which you want to check in one go, you can’t do it. So, I slapped together a gem: MalcolmX which allows us to check for multiple domain names in one go. You can checkout it’s code on github. Once you install it using gem install malcolmx you can check for multiple domain names like this:
