LA.com or NY.com - Which One Would You Pick?

[sashas]

If it were 1993 and you had just enough money to reg a name, and you wanted a LL.com, which one would you pick from LA.com and NY.com?

LA is the showbiz capital of the world, the center for the world's pop culture, and of course, Hollywood.

NY is one of the top cities in the world, the seat of commerce on the Atlantic.

Both cities have their mythologies. NY is the where Times Square and Wall Street are. LA is where Hollywood and Beverly Hills are.

To me, it would be a very hard choice, but I would've picked LA.com, simply because New York can be branded as NYC.com too.

What would you guys pick?

LA.com, Living in Vegas, I'm partial to the west coast though.

-Scott

 

[JamesDavid]

agreed LA.com because of the prestige behind owning a name like that in a city of stars and money.....

 

[stscac]

NY.com all the way...

-Steve

I would have picked LA.com.

LA - Has many abbreviations
LA - CV.com
LA - Plenty of possibilities for domain hacks

NY - No other explicit meaning than New York

easy one LA.COM

reasons:

1) people call Los Angeles - L.A. nobody calls New York - N.Y.
2) much nicer to see the sunset on the water than have to wake up to see it rise over the water
3) more beautiful people than in the Big Apple
4) beaches
5) LA is two premium letters
6) LA is a word (en Espanol)

i could go on and on but you should get the point by now

LA . As bad as I need a vacation from good 'ol LA, I think LA.com is more valuable than NY.com.

 

[sashas]

I don't think that letter quality matters with names such as these. Sex.com has one bad letter too :hehe:

Its a bit odd seeing all the LA.com lovers...no one wants to give NY any love or what?

 

[skylineleong]

I would picked NY.com

i was simply making a domainer joke when i said LA.com has two premium letters as opposed to NY.com

3) more beautiful people than in the Big Apple

with fake tits and collagen lips...

 

[DnEbook]

the better question may have been nyc.com or la.com , did you know that losangl.es is available as a hack name when i last looked ..

 

[abcproductions]

did you know that losangl.es is available as a hack name when i last looked ..

with fake tits and collagen lips...

ny.com

 

[equity78]

LA.com for the same reason ABC mentioned Los Angeles is called LA no one calls New York NY.

 

[sashas]

LA.com for the same reason ABC mentioned Los Angeles is called LA no one calls New York NY.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that NO ONE calls New York NY. Yes, its used much less frequently than LA, but it still is used. I live in Buffalo where New York trips are pretty common. I've heard a lot of people use NY..

you mean BIG fake tits and LUSCIOUS collagen lips!

SWEEEEET!

the really big ones...they tend to get in the way, really, of you know...ahem...

Though I admit I'm quite clueless about collagen lips. Haven't dated any girl yet with such lips...they look scary though

I agree, New Yorkers use NY, but very few use the name NY outside New York to refer New York. :hehe:

For LA, many people outside of US are using it to refer Los Angeles.

Definately LA.com!

 

[itsbusinessbaby]

NY.
NY is also a state, not just a city.
NY is big on business/finances.
