| In the US, at least, if you mention a domain name to someone in person that doesn't end in .COM, .NET, or .ORG, you get a sort of blank, questioning stare about 50% of the time. I own my share of new extension names but the demand for domains other than in the primary original three and some significant regional country codes (think .CO.UK, .DE, .CN, and a few others) is not high nor are most of them badly needed. God bless the lovers of the .ME extension but I have yet to see a notable site using this extension despite the absurd prices being paid for many of them. I do see some use of .BIZ, .US, and .INFO by small businesses in our area but I am sure that their names are typed in with .COM attached by many of their customers. FOX News is using .MOBI some, so maybe there is a little hope but a lot of people in the domaining business should hold onto there wallet for msote of this stuff.
