Which Extension Do You Prefer If The .com Is Unavailable?

[Domain Author]

This is a big question that troubles many others.
What if you are looking for a domain name and you find out that the .COM is already taken while all others are still available?
Which extension do you go for next - .NET, .ORG, .CO, your country-code TLD or some other option and why??

Your country extension and the .NET

That all depends on the domain and the intended use. .net and .org are my main go-to's but sometimes .us isn't bad either.

if developing, then look for another .com


imo...

to op: i'd take .co out of that list -loser extension. if you can't get the com then net, org and cctld should be looked at i agree.
or think of another domain before starting new project --one which is available in .com like they said.
