on a personal note - what do you think is a good max for a url - i think a twitter handle is limited to around 15 characters, that would seem about right to me provided it has that memorable 'ring' to it that makes it memorable....

Newsprint headings always used to be max 25 letters.
In a website, you can exceed this with nesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment_and_arts, with the last getting close to my buffer limit being 22 characters.
Google treat hyphens (spinal-case) as word separators while the BBC (& Wikipedia) underscores (snake_case) are not so a search you would think might fall over, albeit rescued by the page title and other content.

there's a memory....
I was just thinking about the TLD URL
that's interesting...Google treat hyphens (spinal-case) as word separators while the BBC (& Wikipedia) underscores (snake_case) are not so a search you would think might fall over, albeit rescued by the page title and other content

TLDs, the shorter, the sweeter unless you can achieve a semantic meaning or discord: www.forensic.accountants, which is available today. As is www.caseyjones.engineer and xxl.tube. Someone beat me to www.agnostic.church.

thisisthewaytheworldends and notwithabangbutawimper both appear available.....
would putting hyphens in these, or shorter strings, make a difference ?

I wonder if this is why sometimes it is so hard to find a link to a current story in say the New York Times when doing a search.

Google needs a separator to better understand your URLs' wording: this-is-the-way-the-world-ends.not_with_a_bang_but_a_wimper and notwithabangbutawimper would appear about the same to Google but not-with-a-bang-but-a-wimper would allow better search for bang and/or wimper and also let you find you meant not-with-a-bang-but-a-whimper all along.
The easiest way of putting it is your browser spell-checker will be highlighting the entire phrase or the underlined one but finds the words in the hyphenated one.
