    Which is you favourite domain exension ?
    Well, my favourite extension is: .net, but also, I will choose .com for some commercial sites, .org for communities and .biz for little business
    Currently I have domains with .com, .net and .biz extensions.

    I buy .us all the time. It actually saves me time so i don't have to choose a location for google webmaster tools.

    I suppose that .COM domain extension is the most preferable in the Net.
    .Net domain is also good!

    .com is by far the most popular and best for reselling. but I like .org because they are slightly cheaper and a lot easier to come by

    Non-sense.

    A domain without an extension isn't a domain but a keyword or a list of keywords stick together.

    Modern browsers such as chrome and firefox send you to google or bing if you just type the name without the extension.

    It does make sense.
    He wanted to say in showing the domain to someone, it isn't necessary to say keywords.com but just keywords. EXACTLY like you did when you mentioned google and bing (without writing google.com or bing.com)

    Google and Bing have all the extensions redirected to themselves such as google.jp google.hk google.net bing.jp bing.kr ...ect if you want your keyword be mentioned without the extension you need to register all the available extensions and not just .com

    When I think of justin, i think of justin.tv and not justin.com.
    When I think of CBC, i think of cbc.ca and not cbc.com

    ".com" does not make you own the keyword.

    .com obviously, but I am liking .co. Just because you might be able to get traffic from domains with the .com extension.

    That's not true. google and bing do NOT own all TLDs.

    Your examples works only in well known sites.
    You have to admit, 90% of internet users are familiarized with .com much more than any other TLD. After they type in the address bar the domain name, they immediately type .com (even in cases they don't know the TLD of the domain).

    Bye
