I couldn’t agree more. While I sometimes agree with a company’s decision to make say a .org their primary domain (example: seomoz.org) I think it is ONLY a smart decision if they also own the .com and redirect the .com to the .org (as SEO Moz does).

There are brandables and then there are brandables, not all are created equal.

There are hundreds of suffixes and prefixes you can use to create ‘brandables’.

I reg them often in .com, but only the very best ones in .net. I -do- stay away from other extensions, tho…

TeenDomainer, this is spot on, to be honest I am not even sure why people buy brandable .coms for that matter. If someone is brainstorming made up words to start a company they will come up with something new if their first made up word doesnt exist. My next blog post has this as one of the items of what NOT to do….
