And if you have an exotic/fancy tld, have a backup .com/.net domain ready and maybe live at all times

I'd argue that on today's Internet, if you don't have a .com domain, you do have an exotic/fancy TLD and therefore need to have the .com domain live and redirecting to your exotic TLD.

Your local ccTLD is the exception.

.us? That sounds like some .gov phishing scam or del.icio.us domain name hack. Sites using .us are the exception.

Except .us because the USA has so many other common TLDs commonly associated with it. In Canada, .ca is the norm, and I tend to associate .com with $USD and expensive shipping.

Your local ccTLD might not be .us. Not everyone lives in the US.
