I think that domain names are still extremely important, but I'm curious about the other side of the equation. Do you think that most consumers are just following links from Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and no longer typing in words in the browser bar and appending .com? Just from shoulder surfing at my local library, it seems that many 'average' folks are still typing in keywords and adding .com to the end. For many sites this seems to bring up a (monetized) landing page with search results where they just click on a link that looks like what they want -- and if it isn't they hit the back button and try again or type different keywords in the browser bar. Based on this, it seems that having a memorable .com domain name is worth it.
Being tech-savvy, I'd never just type in keywords and append .com, but I think I'm in the minority on this one.
