Spam websites are more often found on .info domains. It depends if searches think this also? Do they treat all domains equally or not? - I dont know they are no .info sites in the top 100 websites.

Very unlikely that SE's automatic algos treat .info domains differently. But human factor could be at play (a manual reviewer for example), as statistically much greater number of poor quality, scam, spam sites use .info domains than say com, net. For this unfortunate perception, I am more reluctant to link to .info domains, how unfair it would appear.

Why surely you check out the site then irrespective of extension you decide whether the site is worth linking to or not? Or am I missing something here?

gpmgroup, just coincidentally today I did give a link to .info site that I think will benefit my visitors. What I want to say, I will look into .info site more closely

just invested in .info domain and am planing on changing my brand to include the .info. i think that it will take time to get the .info away from spammers but eventually it will, hopefully in our lifetime.
i am especially upset on some domain registrants giving specials of 99c for .info domains
