.com is the most prefered but .net is also good if you cannot get the .com
just make sure the domain name is good and avoid using hyphen "-"

1 - 7 is for dot com
#8 choice is .net , then .org
.com.my = good for google.com.my but not international. also the price... hohoho

ANOTHER DOT is... waste of money.

the way i see.. .com or .net doesn't really matter at all...
it's they way you promote your website and the quality of your contents that help to built loyal visitors...

example... lets say i use a domain called "money4free4ever.somedomain12345.net" and i really give away $1 paypal money to all my visitor everyday when they visit my website... for sure they will remember that domain no matter what, either by bookmark, memorize or write down somewhere...

yeah, the success of your website is depends on all the works and effort done to promote it. though having an easy to remember domain may help come people to access your site easily but most visitors comes from links or bookmarks

well, delicio.us works wonder without having to be a dotcom...

traffic to blogs would ideally rely mostly on web links, ie. referrals from other sites or search engines, so, it won't really matter which TLD you use, or how long your keyword is. your content (and design) would be more important, i suppose or people won't visit the site anyway.

hardly that people advertise blog URLs anyway, since your audience would be surfers, not application users. even blogs buried under blogspot, friendster or myspace would get considerable traffic without own domain...

having your own domain however help if you want your blog to be independent, especially if you're spreading ideals or political messages.

just my 2-cent.

Cool get both - but use the DOT COM

get both - but use the DOT COM
COM - means COMMERCIAL - almost all major businesses use .com
whereas NERT means NETWORK

since you are asking the question - GET BOTH - solve the problem

after all most domain names are below RM 30.00 or even cheaper
