A .com extension also looks better in SERPs or so.

So if you want to start a serious site with a domain name, always choose a .COM!

(This post doesn't count for domain names just used for submitting galleries and free sites, though)
- couldn't have said it any better!

I have to add: I don't collect domains like some, and also don't own a single dot-NET.
If I register something it has to be dot-COM (or currently I'm considering a dot-INFO/COM combination)
