And yet thousands of users every day manage to navigate to news.ycombinator.com (n=11, at least), or wordpress.com (n=9 + the blog's name). There are massively popular blogs like overcomingbias.com, or marginalrevolution.com. I still can't spell disqus properly on first attempt, that didn't stop them.
It's important to have a good name but not crucial and it doesn't have to be short.
- dllthomas 14y agoSorry, I didn't mean to imply that "useful and readable" implies an n <= 7. Small n makes otherwise unintuitive or hard to remember things easier, but there are obviously longer "useful and readable" domains. Note, however, that while overcomingbias.com is useful, most domains in its immediate neighborhood are not. qvercomingbias.com, wvercomingbias.com, etc.
