    What extension do you think suits email address? Obviously .com would be best but it's hard to find anything short and/or interesting.

    I have @LLLL.org - but org sounds kind of... "official". And shorter would be even better :)
    So i'm thorn between @xyz.im and @x-z.me (xyz=my initials)... or maybe x-z.tel?...

    What do you think?

    What email domain do YOU have - your own or maybe gmail.com/yahoo.com/etc.

    Stay away from .tel
    If you are looking for a personal email than go for .net (not mentioned by you) or .me IMO

    Out of the listed option... I guess .me looks to be the best over the others. :)

    .com, it always looks more professional and a LOT more trustworthy.

    We are all quite used to .com as the "primary" extension... As such most are likely to probably be oppinionated towards a .com based e-mail. I also agree that I personally would probably choose a .com one before I choosed anything else in relation to an e-mail. However I guess it also depends what you will use the e-mail for, if you want to use it in a "business form", or use it as a private causal e-mail etc.

    I guess it's more of a personal email - for friends and maybe for selling-buying on DP and paypal payments.

    Short it's what I'm after but all 3L-4L and most of nice 5L-6L are taken (I tried to email owner of a quite nice pronounceable LLLL.com and he offered to sell it to me for... $1500... :eek: mmkay :rolleyes:)

    What about .ORG - does it look too official (like I'm a member of some organization not a private person)

    BTW, I picked x-z.me (although that dash kind of spoils it eh :))
    xyz.me would be perfect but somebody already got it, in 2008 a month after that extension was released (I didn't think about buying it back then...)
