    .com is the best hands down for Branding.

    most popular is .com globally. some ccTLDs (.de, co.uk, etc) dominate locally.

    .com is the undisputed TLD, as every person online knows.
    .net/.org may be the second most preferred, but there is no fine line to separate them.
    I guess .me is the fastest growing TLD at the moment, though the same could be said for .info

    The picture may, however, change with the introduction of gTLD's

    Hello,
    The most popular worldwide is .COM, and for me the second one is .NET, but if you are going to create a nice website and you are going to trademark it, try to register the domain name with .COM, people remember more .COM than others.

    Best,
    Jakomo

    Yeah, .com, for sure. But as you said .info's there's such a high demand, due to their low price. Like $0.90 is pretty good for a domain.

    I stick with .com, .org, and .net because they're the most popular. Others such as .tv, and .me, etc. are getting more popular but are no where close to the fame of .com, .org, and .net and they usually cost a little bit more I think.

    yeah .com rocks. I guess it is somehow relates to the internet as a whole than with the other extensions.
