I agree. A quick glance at the top 5,000 domains in terms of traffic more than demonstrates the sheer dominance of the .com brand for domains. It's beyond overwhelming. There are very few relevant .me or .io (etc) domains. That will continue to be the case for years to come. It's not Twitter.me or TwitPic.me or yfrog.me, it's not Tumblr.me, it's not Pinterest.me, it's not Groupon.me, it's not homeaway.me, it's not yelp.me. All the major success stories online will continue to be branded primarily through .com - and those that start out as .me or .io will move to .com as they can afford to purchase the prime domain.
