I also agree that it depends on if another extension makes sense.

For example:

If you are buying a .me (or other extension) just because .com and .net are gone and it doesn't relate then pick another name. If you are buying a .me (or other extension) and it relates like about.me then go for it.

Also its possible that soon we will have all sorts of custom extensions from custom providers / companies and then people will have to start paying more attention to the extension of the domain as well as just the name.

Good point, ICANN is soon to offer customized domain extensions. It costs $185K to apply. Wonder what it'll be like to see .sports or .love or .cars?
