If available then short domain name is good otherwise you can use a key phrase of two words because that is effective from the seo point of view.

Short or long it should be easy for the target audience to remember. Short names are generally easily to remember tha long names. To counter this arguement short names are maybe not representative of the organisation or the content, and there probably aren't too many short names left. Try to get a balance between length and relevance.

It depends on the business and the name you choose. Both should match each other only then it is applealing. Also you can try some fancy names with some good combinations.

Of course, shorter URL is better so that it's easily to be remembered and re-typed by visitors.

Short better, most of the time. Because brand potential greater, convenience greater. Unless you lose some essential meaning or communication objective w/ the shorter one.

Short name with a keyword or keyword phrase is the best.

I think short names work better in general - but sometime a longer easy to remember name is better than a short random name.

No doubt short domain names are better than long.
Short domains are memorable and it is hard to misspell them. Unique domain name is always SEO friendly.
