Really? Why do you think that someone with a com/net/org TLD has more credibility than someone with an info/biz/whatever domain name?
It's just as easy to register in one as the other. If I can get hoowack.com (which is available - act now!) or hoowack.info, am I more credible if I get the former?
All due respect, but even though the new TLDs aren't as popular as the old ones, to treat info offered under one TLD as more credible than that offered under a different one is just plain silly.
In fact, in some cases the new TLDs should be MORE credible than the old ones. If you see a .museum site (
there are few, but not many), you can be comfortable that the site is run by a genuine museum (and not, for example, someone pretending to be the Guggenheim when they aren't). Ditto for .coop (a genuine cooperative), .aero (a genuine part of the air travel industry) and it would have been true for .pro (only for licensed professionals) if it had ever launched (they still say they will.....someday). The operators of these TLDs all screen the registrants to verify that they are who they say they are and that they meet the eligibility requirements for that TLD.
Anyway, I babble.... I happen to know a fair amount about this subject, so I can get long winded about it.
