It does not really matter, but usually people get .com's because it seems like they are more popular, but get the extension you like best.

.me is shorter by one letter, so go with that if you can find short domain name that makes sense.

Get something likable and catchy - bit.ly is proof you don't need a .com

And yea, all 3 and 4 letter .com domains are registered so good luck with a URL shortener in .com

You are referring to the ccTLD domain names. And they are the ones which might have some specific rules for the registration and might not be availible for everyone

There's plenty of ccTLD with no rules or requirements attached to it.
This tool will be useful if you're looking for .com,net,.org, .ca

For a URL shortener, go with the shorter extension.

Check Bido auction for short domains. They sell for low price. ccTLDs. You won't find 3 character .coms for cheap.

You can go for any of the two, but .com is commercial domain name while .me is personal. Moreover .com sell better than any other domain name.

In your case, I would probably go with a .com since it's common. The .me's are very unique but I only purchased a .me for my personal blog.
