It's been hard. We have some solid .com alternatives for our service, but we did decide to go with the less traditional style with http://bug.gd http://bug.gd as our service. So far it doesn't seem to hurt our traffic too much and helps us stand out a bit among tech geeks, but it's hard to say for sure.
But one anecdote (and I'm sure del.icio.us has a dozen), I know PC World magazine wouldn't have misspelled our site as "bug.BD" if we had been a dotcom. (They did get the url right later as bug.gd, even if they got our "product name" wrong.)
I guess the upside is we get a free mention in the next magazine when they correct that.
Fun!
