Nothing really, but .org ,as an example, is supossed to be for organisations.
And .com is for communication (if I remember right), and .net is for network.

There is really no difference between them, you can use all of them for any purpose.
Except such as .gov, which is for government.

here is some more information in detail from wiki

This article is about the organization of names used to identify resources in the Internet. For other uses, see Domain.

A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).

Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. In general, a domain name represents an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site, or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet.

Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users who wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, create other publicly accessible Internet resources or run web sites. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.

Pancake, The info about DNS and such were not needed, but good resource though.

But domain endings still don't do any difference, still can be used in any way you want.
(unless it's a reserved domain)
