In fairness, this depends on the search engine used... In many cases Google
does a decent job at finding a .net or .org when you type in a single word
and it turns out the .com isn't the most popular choice. Type in "radiant"
for instance, and the first hit is radiant.net -- radiant.com is rather
useless. Arguably, this technique would work with more TLDs as well.

Indeed. Alas, before my time, I've only been professionally involved in the
domain registration industry since ICANN was born, prior to that I was
simply a single domain holder.
