hahaha..u guYs dunno whaT uR talkin about, REALLY!

As a reminder, in Real Estate…it’s a buY and hoLd thingiE, then w8 and seE!

I do suggest that U guys wait for the domain reBoom and you’d be surEpriZed coz .US rules since America rules and still will, the world.

The real wild cards are .biz
WannaBet or WannaBe?

Ok lets think about it JoeAmerica.org that is better than JoeAmerica.com or how about my HillaryClintons.info that is good. I like the way you use the s on the end most people forget that can work..I had JamesBrowns.com and gave it up

Charlie --

Thanks for the comments. I think we all favor .com's -- it's really the only top level that has serious traction to it. I'm willing to speculate a bit on .us and .info domains, but a lot needs to happen before those (or any other non-.com's) takeoff to an appreciable degree.

Sometimes I wonder whether - in the long term - some of the country code top levels will only hold value for unconventional uses, like del.icio.us.

Time will tell. Thanks again for the comment.

Matt,

I’m prejudice. I only like the .com’s because I feel that they’re more natural. The .us ones are good, but I just can’t imagine them getting much traffic, but you will know better than me.

Also, I visited all of the .com’s and I was delited to see that both sides of the isle are investing in adwords.

Great post!

I agree on .us domains. That’s the big speculative play with these domains. I think the political angle gives the extension some added value here (hillarys.us is better than a meaningless acmebusiness.us, IMHO), but it’s still not a .com.

These are going to be fun to watch, I think.

I actually disagree re .info. I tend to think that .info domains have tremendous value for generic names that relate to newer subjects that people are looking for information on. If it becomes widely known that .info = information, I think .info could come into it’s own.

But, that’s coming from a guy that owns genericbiologicals.info.

Thanks for the comment.

I think you got some good domain names. However, I’m not yet sold on .us. I think it has the most potential out of the gtdls but am not sure it is going to catch on. However, I think it’s worth a lot more than a .info
