Default short domain names

Do you think that shorter domain names (like 3 - 4 letters) are worth more? Or do you prefer a more drawn out name with multiple words?

Shorter .com names (3 letters or combinations) are already taken up so you would be lucky if you could find .com 3 letter domains and 4 letters are also now becoming hard to find. But the answere to your question is yet only if its extension is know, no one cares about 3 lettered .in name or .ca names.

People will remember your domain name if it isn't complicated to write/remember, easy words, mainly 3-10 letters long, longer than that, forget about it.

Well ofcorse 3 letter domains are better. I owned some and own a 3 number domain.

The best short domains are 3 number .COMs. The prices of NNN.COMs are starting from mid $x,xxx - high $x,xxx

There's no doubt that they're worth more, but they're almost all taken. If you happen to find one, then you've stumbled upon a gold mine.

I think shorter names are much better. On some occasions, a more drawn out name with multiple words is also good..
