If you are securing a domain for a mass market application then you MUST get the .com. Even very clever and well known sites such as del.icio.us also own .com (delicious.com). Many people simply type in the 'name' of a site and let their browsers complete the address, which of course always adds .com.
Why would you take the chance on .net or .org? Because it is easier for you to get a name or because it is easier for a user to remember and browse to it.
- socmoth 19y agoyahoo bought delicious.com when they bought del.icio.us they have the money to pay a couple hundred k for a domain. but it was after the fact, not before. that being said. having the .com is a very smart move.
