as stated, the .com is the US extention.........how many people not in the domain game know that .us even exists?

See Prez the point is .US is already popular, already known by MILLIONs of people and already has millions of web pages up..alltheweb has over 12.3 million paages of >US pages already up..

The "myth" that no one knows of .US is clearly just that MYTH


http://www.alltheweb.com/search?adv...ize[x]=0&depth[p]=>&depth[v]=&hits=10&nooc=on



I am not slamming you just trying to inform you of the reality of .US ...

The single largest factor is if and when congress approves the kids space under .us Kids.Us..then you have overnight every child in amercia going to school and all the computers will be focused on kid.us sites.. they wil in just a matter of weeks associate .US with the internet..

as part of neustars contract with the DOC they had to set aside kids.us for future development..it's a very interesting read..when you understnd it isnt hype..it something that will happen..they have been working on it, they are working on it and it will be approved .
http://www.neustar.us/kids/index.html

Really they are just positioning themselves ..congress wants more regulations than what Neustar believes is necesary etc..
but it's going to happen..

.US names are already in use .over 12 million pages..just that allweb shows

.US domains will gain instant recognition nearly over night by tens of millions of children(and thru them, their parents ) WHEN kids.us is implemented 6 months, 1 year or 2 not any longer than that .Neustar basically already has everything in place.


I fully believe .US will be just as important if not more important than .com in the US and any one out side the US tryong to market their products here..everyone will want a .US domain..

Who wouldnt want an address that represents the most powerful , most wealthy country on earth !

Wow - Bid, that's some fascinating stuff. I wasn't up on all of it. I have a coupel dozen .us name and thought they might be worthwhile 5 years down the road. Your info makes me feel better about that investment (and the possibility they will take off in a quicker time frame).

The reason .us has so many extenions on alltheweb, is because its been around since 1992 (maybe even earlier), it just used to be available to the government only.

It is not in demand either...for it is not universal, like .com. It is a country code, in essence.

Doberry, yes that is correct..thats why it wil flow so easily to the general public because it is already know and used inthe restricted areas...

Do you see my point aboutr kids.us..

Think about where evre you are and how you associte cetain lessons in life as such because you were taught a certain way.. something that all your classmates many years ago all "had" to do..

a certain way you were taught "whatever" that was nation wide..you do it a certain way ..because everybody was taught that way..

Ok.. all the kids go to .com today..for the most part of course they do.and they will continue using .com as they grow up ..because thats what they were taught and have grown accustom too..correct

.but what happens when over night your country sets aside an area just for kids....kids.us .. then that association no longer is .com ..know they..in juts a matter of weeks asscite the internet with a .US extension ..
thats really I think the "hidden"intangible value of .US.. but that intangible becomes tangible when kids.us is approved because every major corporation in the US wants a piece of that action..those Kids are going to be your market for the next 60 years or more.. you want in.. I am just looking forward maybe a year maybe 2...

see, thats what i am on about. If you don't agree with someone, just put the facts forward like you just did. I think we all learned alot about .us there.

Also, just coz i never heard of that place doesn't mean i can't give a decent valuation on the name. You put info forward on the area and that was enough. I've never been to New York, does that mean i don't know how to value a domain name with New York in it?

And just for the record, i might be a brit, but i've seen more of america than most yanks (and just gonna add i'll be moving there next year for good).
