    What do you guys think? Which one is better?

    I'm going to set up a new blog and have found a nice name for it, but the .COM is already taken, so now my choice is either .NET or .ORG. Personally, I think I should go with .net, as .org might sound like my site is a website of an organization and that isn't - it will be a personal blog.

    Feel free to vote and post your opinions here.

    Thanks

    This depends on what your targeted niche is. Why not get both .net, and .org? The .ORG TLD has no restrictions.

    i'd say buy them both, use the extension which sounds better with name and then redirect the other one to it.

    personally, i prefer .org in general over .net for markets that make sense. I generally would find another .com before buying a .net though

    Certainly .net, because it's nicer, and it's more suitable for personal blog then .org one, and I think it's also more valuable then .org.

    Choose your best! ;)

    .net for sure in my opinion, but consider that if someone tries to remember your site and think it was a .com (everybody thinks to .coms as first option) you're sending free traffic to the guy that owns the .com

    maybe getting another domain but .com might be better, specially for a blog where you want people to come back to read
