In this day and age, people don't guess URLs anymore by sticking .com at the end of a word so there is no longer any advantage to using a .com domain name over a .biz or .info or .us.
FWIW, I still do as it is faster than google. I bet that that there are more people like me. Also, some browsers add ".com" if your URL doesn't end in ".something". Others cycle through a list of possibilities, but there ".com" is always the first on the list.
