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?

I will grab LA.com then NY.com

NY.com all the way. I'm actually surprised so many picked LA. There is no city as big with so much history as NY. People visit NY, NY is like a country unto itself. Don't misread me, I love the west coast but purely from a business standpoint I'd take anything with NY in it.

I think I'd rather LA, as many people refer to NY as NYC. Don't they want a .nyc TLD for the city?

I'd have GB.com lol... but as I have to choose... NY.com probably

New York might be the financial capital, but what happens in LA pretty much reflects the fashion and lifestyle trends of the rest of the planet. There is no stronger influence on public consciousness than Hollywood..

LA.com for me, as mentioned because Los Angeles is better known as LA than New York is for NY.

la.com for sure

"Hey I just got back from LA."

One important point every one seemed to miss...when talking about Los Angeles people actually call it "LA" . Nobody calls New York "NY" So LA for sure would be my first pick.

Feels like a Ford vs. Chevy debate. Both are awesome. Probably "LA" since that's popular slang for Los Angeles, as in "I'm from LA".

Incidentally, people outside of New York do use NY.

I <3 NY

How can people say no one calls New York "NY" when that's probably one of the most famous t-shirts ever.

obviously didn't read several previous posts.

and, sure, we know there are some people that say N.Y. for New York but that happens about a million times less than people using the term L.A. for Los Angeles. simple fact.
