Subject:	.info is better than .org. .org is an arse if you're running a business. .info is very versatile
Message:
Long term, .info will be valued higher than .org, indeed its value is higher to me right now and probably to others too. .org is basically a pile of bollocks unless you're running a charity/ non profit. One final word, which often gets overlooked. Some country codes are also valuable. I'm not talking about .cc and .tv and all that shit. I mean in a developed country, generic cctlds are often valuable to businesses in that country. .co.uk generics for example are valuable in the UK. Of course a generic tld is a safer bet as you've got a much wider pool of potential buyers, nevertheless some cctlds have value (apart from the laughably useless .ltd.uk in which virtually every domain name is free)
