.com= more original form since it 1st started with that form
.net= sounds like linkage from a network, 2nd choices
.org= mostly used in organization as the shortcut speaks it laugh.gif

.biz is rather new, i think, though i've seen sites with those for quite some time. is it legit? the reason i asked because i've came accross some too-good-to-be-true business sites with those extensions. might be scam.

if i was given a choice, i'll go for .com

Am not sure about the 1st statement but as for 2nd statement, i think if everyone is given a choice. They will all go for .com laugh.gif
