What??

When you think about "marketing" a domain.. with a .us extension.. naturally you would be targeting .us business owners..

As far as "resale" value goes.. I believe in the .us extension.. although she's quite new on the scene.. she's worthy!

.us will have an impact like .co.uk compared to .info & .us is 2 letter extension compared to .info 4letter extension domain.
So I would prefer .us for .info.

Extension length when comparing 2 letters to 4 letters makes no difference!

.co.uk/.de those any other country extension success stories I would attribute to the need to target specific countries.

Sure there is a need to target specifically the us market. But when that role is already fullfilled by .com - .us is left without that fitting purpose.

That's exactly the way am thinking about it :cap:

.US because ccTLDs are obviously doing better than "junky gTLDs"
This can be confirmed by relatively good performance of .de, .co.uk and other ccTLDs including even .ru (!).

You left out one minor detail - ALL of the good .com domains are gone.

That is why there will be a market for .us (and in fact one is already developing nicely among small businesses judging from my sales)
