If you want people to remember your domain name and type it into the browser than you really need the .com extension. You have to market the hell out of .net or any other type of domain for people to remember it. They might remember your domain name but forget the extension and will likely try .com. If you don't own it because somebody else does you are sending traffic you worked for to them. Most people will shrug it off and forget about your site or worse become engaged in their site leaving your long forgotten. Try to come up with a different name or a multi-word domain to get that .com. The domains are out there, you just have to be creative.
