Are top domain names worth it?

Does having a top domain name really matter as much as it used to? Seth Godin discovered some undeveloped domains, such as an.com, ot.com, and new.com:

Imagine walking down Fifth Avenue and seeing big empty lots. Not sure what these folks are waiting for!

If having a short, one-word domain was all it took, then Pets.com would still be shipping dog food, Clothes.com is where I’d get my shirts, and Search.com would be bigger than Google.
