Is this telling us .net is more popular than .com?

[Orpheus]

I think yes.

[BillyBob]

Huh, why is .net more popular than .com. I thought .com meant commercial, and most people visit .com before .net. .net is also cheaper than .com I think. Maybe there are just more .net sites which causes the chart to be like that. I also find it surprising how .ca is far up there. Canada is a sparsely populated country, and I'd expect .uk to be higher, considering many third level services are housed in the uk. Nonetheless, the chart is a good way of helping people choose which . extension too use. Even though .net is the highest, I'd still choose .com over .net. If you were to go to a new site, chances are, you'd type .com before .net.
