Subdomains experience anyone?

Especially in print media

[farmboy]

I'm interested in learning the good or bad of experiences using subdomains.

Overall, but I am especially interested in print media. Are people willing to enter a subdomain into a search engine after reading about it?

red.rocks.example.com for instance. If that was on a business card, would it turn many people away?

Any assistance is appreciated.

If this is to be typed , I would go with the shortest.

OK, yes I agree.

I'm wondering if having two "dots" in the name will deter many people - those used to seeing one "dot"?

If the person owns example.com as well, then it probably wouldn't be a problem (especially if there is a way to get to red.rocks.example.com easily from example.com). If example.com is something like GeoCities, maybe not a good thing. :)

I think red-rocks.example.com would work better. And of course, there some people who would feel confused that it wasn't www.red.rocks.example.com...
