i agree with Rocco either .COM or .NET
i think what's important is the content of the site

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

It certainly DOES matter if you want to start a "real" site with the domain (e.g. a TGP, a portal...), because .com is just the most known extension so if your visitors just remember your name (e.g. biggreatasses) and they want to revisit you, they'll probably go to biggreatasses.com and (maybe) after that to biggreatasses.net .

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)

Don't let a programmer design your front-end pages!

- 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)
