There are some good sources out there to try and find a domain name. http://www.domainpigeon.com/ http://www.domainpigeon.com/ is a good if you're looking for a random name. To answer you're question, you should absolutely get a .com. In my experience, the .net name eventually becomes a pain in the butt for branding and user acquisition, especially with the .com having only a blank directory (a user will just think your site is dead). It's also one of the first questions you'll get when pitching to investors. Why couldn't you get the .com? You're answer so far has been that you couldn't negotiate it. That sends the wrong message. Cut your losses and just find a .com.
