OL VS Online

[worldstar]

Hi

What do you think a word+online and a word+ol?
Which do you think is the best one?
online is a little long and ol is short?
what would you think a name like broadcastol.com?
Or a name like Broadcastonline.com?
Or a name like TVol?
Or a name TVonline?

Hands down, "online" is better than "ol". Many people wouldn't even recognize "OL" as meaning "online" so it just looks like a strange suffix.

When I see OL I think "Outdoor Life" first, and I'm a net-geek!
Online. Just :imho:

Yes,in most cases online is better than ol. broadcastonline.com is better than broadcastol.com!
When mention short names, I would prefer something like abcol than abconline!
Thanks a lot!

Ok, I think in an english speaking country, online is definitely the first choice!
Yet in a non-english speaking country maybe OL is easier to be remembered!---IMHO!
Thanks! :blink:

I have never even heard of OL before this thread, so obviousally I would go with online. :tu:

OL is referred to "office lady" in Japan.

There's too many 'OL' here

I'd say 'Online' , it makes more sense to me and maybe for others.

Thanks all! It gives me more objective thoughts about some kinds of domain names!

It is very clear that online is better! Now who can suggest which is better. online or net? Just compare the following:
Shoponline.com VS Shopnet.com
stockonline.com VS stocknet.com
