Dennis Kucinich using .US

[greggish]

I saw Kucinich on CNN's Crossfire last night and he mentioned his website, Kucinich.US. I think this is the first time a candidate is using a .US.

That's patriotism for you. .US will have a bright future

Also interesting that Crossfire commentator James Carville uses a .info for his site (not a redirect), Carville.info. He recently switched from a longer .com.

I think the use of .US by candidates is a very smart move - they all want to appear to be patriotic and the .US is a perfect match for that. The adoption of .US by major political figures will speed up recognition of the extension across America....and recognition is what it is all about. Once that hurdle has been cleared the race is over. I really see virtually no way .US can miss - the only question is how long it will take to become mainstream.

Wow, new namespace is rockin'

As good as time as ever..

Here is a preview of Compnies using .US


CDW.US
KellyServices.US
WashingtonPost.US
WesternDigital.US
Revlon.US
DeanFoods.US
ELpaso.US
GoodYear.US
Eastman.US
UnionPacific.US
EMC.US


As you can see .US is being used very well by well known companies.

Excellent, I like seeing this recognition and exposure.

 

[mole]

Excellent list, bid. But as the naysayers would quickly say, they are all redirects to .com.

....and meanwhile GiantDomains is busy chomping away on the ham sandwiches he bought with his .US money! Better freeze a couple of those GD, when the buyers zero in on this great extension, you won't have anything to sell them (that could put a real crimp in your grocery budget)

UnionPacific.US is my favorite.. the perfect fit

Goodyear has a nice site also..

The TM holders will get their names in the .us ccTLD, the real question is, can you reg generic names that will also be in demand. The next "hotels.com", etc.

Check TM on any regs, even generic names can have a load of active TM, as I found out.

Your welcomed.. more of these larger compnies are coming onboard everyday..

These are Companies doing billions of dollars of transactions every year.. maybe my yapping wont change opinions but these types of compnies and the influence they have should make most take notice....US is for real..

this summer is when the masses are going to be introduced to .US..expect summer to early fall for the next registration explosion..not just the steady growth..4-7 month range

LOL.

Dennis Kucinich is a bonehead for using his name in any form. Nobody can spell his name, and it doesn't work in any extension.

Only 10 major companies using .US? And how many using .COM?

Is this truly a cause for celebration --or simply a bunch of losers sitting around self-congratulating each other for bad decisions, seizing on a few exceptions to disprove a general rule, and trying to shoehorn their facts to fit pipe dreams?

You really are getting nervous arent you disccowboy,..how many .coms did you say you owned agin 1600 ! :laugh:


BTW..I see YOU bought a .US :laugh: hypocrite !

 

[DaddyHalbucks]

1/ 1700 domains is hardly a huge vote of confidence.

What I intended to ask: is this thread a Circle-Jerk?

 

[CoolHost.com]

W W ... I just got confirmation on my very first three-letter domain, and it's a ".US"!! I'm all pumped up this morning.
Good Luck to all proud .US holders.

 

[DaddyHalbucks]

Congrats, but..

It will be a short honeymoon.

You didn't get anything of value.
