go daddy are in the business of selling domains, of course they are going to hype up a useless and overpriced domain name.

Wrong to an extent, Google chose to rank .co's globally.
I've been seeing .co's pop up in regular searches also (I'm in Canada).
If you're in it for the long haul, grab a few decent keywords and begin development!
TLD base pricing is determined by whomever manages the TLD, in the case of .co it's a partnership between a Colombian government corp and the asshats at NeuStar. Like any other company, registrars tend to base their prices on what they're paying for the underlying product or service -- nothing to do with actual end user quality or value.

RE: Domains with.co in them
It is my understanding that domains with .co at the end "sound" like company website names, therefore the higher price. But they are often valued higher in appraisals. Try Estibot.com to get your .co domains valuation before you buy it.

Many reasons 
*Typo Traffic
*Shorter than .com
*Its Just Released Sometime Back
*All Domains are Available = They Know Some Quick sales Would Happen!
* Google Says .co will be considered equally with .coms and others in terms of serps

It's because each purchase comes with a complementary ounce of Columbian Marching Powder, shipped straight to the registrant's address.
.info's can actually outperform .com's b/c of less competition... less traffic maybe but better for you to target if you have .info's. I use info domains for article marketing.
What do you mean less competition? .info domains have to compete with the .com domains for SERPs.
Do you mean that all the good .com domains are already taken so you can get better exact match domains with .info? In that case, yeah of course.

Where did you get this info?
I think it is the same with most new tld's these days, as they don't want to go the same way as .info and .biz - get labelled as spammy.
Do I remember rightly that some guy paid the Cameroon goverment for the traffic to any unregistered .cm domains and made a fortune off typos and shitty ad pages? So anything not registered .cm went to his ad pages. Talk about great foresight...
