OK, here’s the situation.  I have a client whose name is something like Zip Zap Productions.  They want to register the domain name.  But ZipZapProductions.com is taken.

Please comment before 8/16 and tell me: should they go with:
a) zipzapENTERTAINMENT.com
b) zipzapproductions.CA
c) zipzapproductions.NET

(Bonus points for anyone who tells me how to set up a blog poll instantly and easily.)

“There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order.”

“According to Golf Digest, from 1996 to 2007, Woods made $769,440,709. Golf Digest predicts that, by 2010, Woods will become the world’s first athlete to pass one billion dollars in earnings.”

This may shock you, but you can set up a blog poll at http://www.blogpoll.com/.

I'd for 'b' only if their market is mostly or entirely Canadian. Otherwise, it's 'c'.

Alternately, have you considered (if they're available) http://www.zipzapzip.com? Or even zipzapzipzap.com?
Or zipzappro.com?
Or pizpaz.com? Just thinking outside the box.

there's this book about blogging you can look at that mentions some good poll tools made for blogs.

Howdy! My vote is for C, unless you can get away with something like zipzaponline.com. Easier to remember than to remember the darned extension (.net? .us? .tv? argh!).

i'm with darren - if your client operates mainly or entirely in canada, the dot-see-eh extension would be my preference. especially since the people with the rights to the dot-com extension don't have a site up.
