Domain names - always dot com?

I make sure to use .coms for any site I'll be taking seriously like a TGP or Link List, but for freesite domains I'll go to .net. I'll also usually buy the .net if I'm getting the .com

IMHO I dont think it matters, I own a .net and it works the same as .com, but I think I would stay away from .info as they seem to be associated with spammers as they are cheap at only $1.95 year.

.coms are more valuable than .nets as .com is what people associate to be the end of a website address and so will remember it easier.

generally choose a .com over a .net - sometimes a good idea to buy both if available (like madmax said).

Again if you have really big plans for a site then .com is probably better. But it is not the most important thing when making a site. If you design your site well and run it well then that will be what makes it a success. But a .com catchy domain name is always a good bonus |cool|

Just my 2 cents
