I thought .biz might go with a site about business/marketing, but am concerned about the association with spammers which has been mentioned elsewhere in this section.
Thank you.
How about using both? As the name itself is the same you can do some useful A/B testing...
Maybe, if you build a successful website on the .biz, you will become one of ICANN's favorite pioneers?
Of course, I'd expect a healthy portion of your traffic to spill over to the .com version of the domain, will the balance of the spillage going to .net, .org and .info.
Eventually people who didn't have a hotlink would figure out that your website is actually located on a .biz domain.
Sad, but do you think what I'm imagining is unlikely or more likely than not what will happen?
For trademarks this may not be so important, but if the public ever start knowing about the .biz option, surely that would increase the percentage off typins for .biz keyword/generic name domains
Do you guys think the pre eminence of .com might one day be challenged by .biz

No.
Only thing I use the .info for is my adense filters. This tells me the MFA site only wanted to spend $1.99 ( or whatever the really low price is on these domains) on the domain name and their traffic is just arbitraging my traffic.
An unfair generalisation.
Where I've used .info domains, it's been because .info is the most meaningful extension, rather than anything to do with price; in fact, I'd much rather have the .info than the .net or the .org. Plenty of others feel the same.
Discounting .info because of the discounted price is a short-term view, and completely ignores the intrinsic quality of the tld.

Thats a lot of sites you could be blocking
Looking at the number of pages in Google today
...
about 41,500,000 for site.au
about 50,600,000 for site:.cn
about 66,200,000 for site.fr
about 89,300,000 for site:.info
that only leaves
.ca .jp .de and .uk in the ccTLDs
Looks like Canada's next to be passed.... :)

... is that with these many #*$!x.info pages belonging to those "5 billion pages spam" and similar operations included or excluded?
Quantity is not quality ...
Kind regards,

who knows? its a lot of pages to check.
The current data set seems to have quite a few less pages indexed than ones from ealier in the year.
Checking a couple of known spammy areas Google seems to dealt with the majority of the subdomain spam.
Quantity is not quality ...
Like any tld there are good .info sites and .info bad sites and some which Google likes and some it doesn't
