I've never thought that, though I can see why some people might. I think I have thought Imlive sounds more like a single-person-on-cam name though.



True. Though I always assumed the top AWE affiliates and/or people with "jasmin" domains were connected to LJ anyway, which is why they were allowed to use the name.
Only time obscure becomes more memorable than a premium self descriptive domain is if you poor a ton of cash into branding it. There was one affiliate I remember who registered many LJ variations and was one of their top affiliates, but not sure he is still promoting them anymore. I've been one of AWE's biggest critics over the years for their shady business practices, but I will say that they've done a hell of a job at successfully growing their product. Instead of spending a million on something like cams.com, they took a reg fee domain and spent a ton on traffic and its paid off.
