Using a .net or another extension can make even the best domain name useless initially because everyone checks the .com address first if they don't have the URL memorized. The effort required to look beyond the .com if that doesn't work on the first try in a search is often too much for people to pursue. Thanks for letting me take up some space on your blog!

Having .org, .net or anything international (eg, .co.uk, .ca) means that folks are likely to forget your domain on first try or wind up someplace else by mistake. In the case of Whitehouse.com or Factcheck.com, this can lead to some foot-in-mouth moments. I have heard the case that bands, especially up-and-coming acts, should choose their name ONLY if they can get the .com. Even with the popularity of MySpace, etc., fans with short attention spans and terrible memories need that accessibility that only comes from owning .com domain name.
