I have to disagree with you on .info... yes when someone here's the '.info' in a url, it would come to mind to them that it is an 'informative' site. The thing is though, you ask a Joe user if he's ever heard of .info before and more times not he will say he's never heard of it.... chances are they never heard of .info just like they never heard of .mobi.
As well, for more internet savy users, because .info domains are so cheap, they are widely used by proxy sites, spammers, or parked pages on the internet. For the most part, developed .info sites fall into the above 3 categories. So it does give .info a bad name when the developed sites fall under the above categories. Since people thinking they will get more "information" ... really don't and their user experience is tarnished. People know that when they REALLY want information about a subject, they go to wikipedia....not to a .info.
I'd rather have a .net any day over a .info and will be happy to trade my .info for an equivalent .net anyday. Any takers?
