Please don't spread this bullshit. I hear it every once in a while and cannot understand why people repeat it. There's nothing you can tell about the company from the TLD. It's just a string. It's like saying "don't trust companies with an E in their name".
Yes, I own an info domain. Because I liked it and it was cheap. That's it.
I said that mostly in jest. If you're starting a site though, just don't fucking pick .info, is my .02. Don't be a cheap ass, spend the extra $6, and get a 'real' TLD that doesn't have it's reputation destroyed by russian spammers.
I don't believe a TLD can have a reputation (apart from that related to the government controlling it). That's exactly why I went for a cheep TLD. .com is a gold plated connector on a digital data cable (or whatever monster uses these days) IMO - raising the price for no reason at all. An average person shouldn't care.
