You should get something...not dotcom/net/org-like.
Maybe a tv domain? It sounds cooler, I swear, and is worth the extra money

You know what helped me? By going to
http://godaddy.com when thinking of ANYTHING that could be a valid domain and checking its availability [dooooork].
Crap. I'm not helping. Sorry

If you are going to invest $34 into a domain name, you should look into a international domain name. Like .ru (Russia) .jp (Japan) .ro (Romania), international domains get you a LOAD of hits from the US and around the world, because that way, the Google search engine crawlers search for it in lots of countries. Unlike with .tv, .com, .org, .net domains, which are just United States domains, quoting ICANN. But they can still be bought by people outside the US. I invested $150 into a offshore domain, and I have too say… It was worth it.
When you give someone a .com domain for your Blog, you have too be cool.... Now if you gave them a .us, or .tv domain, most people do not understand that .tv and .us domains are still top level domains.
