Dotcom is King and always will be.
Don't launch a product/ service without owning the dotcom. This is just my opinion.
But, if you just want something amateurish and local and you don't plan on going big, or if don't care about reaching deep in your pocket to pay off someone later, pick whichever extension of the month suits your fancy.

I understand that in the above example it's obviously better to have screw.com versus screw.me. Just was wondering if you can't afford screw.com is it better to go with screw.me versus a made up word like fucknizzle.com or a 4+ word .com?
Like you mentioned above it seems like a trend on the mainstream side is to start with something cute and brandable with a less desirable extension and then once they have attracted attention (ie: profits or investor $) they pick up the .com extension. Curious as to the experts thoughts on that sort of marketing strategy.
