I was taken aback by the 13 character length, I wonder how many of those are parked, what the average length is for the top 100,1000, 10000 sites according to Alexa/Google/Etc. I suspect there there is a nice split between the parked longer names and the shorter actually used as a website names.

Shorter domains definitely make sense, but probably not a good predictor in itself though they have aesthetic value.
