.net is technically meant for network-related domains, and .org is 
mainly for non-profit organisations. Since there isn't really a good 
"individuals" TLD, they seem to be the most popular ones for this use. 
I guess which one you use depends on whether you consider yourself more 
of a charitable person or a network geek. :)

I'd stay away from .info, as it is used virtually exclusively by 
spammers. Spamassassin tends to be quite suspicious of mails 
containing .info URLs or originating from .info addresses.
