Do you think this new extension will catch on? I've been toying with the idea of grabbing one but am undecided as to whether it would be worth it.

I suppose it will make a clearer distinction against .com which can be anywhere???

The best thing it has going for it is the increase in American patriotism - but hey, being Canadian, taff, why do you need one? Sticking out tongue

Nothing will ever be as big as .com, but it doesn't hurt to have this.

ha!

Well I don't see how it's much different from the other country codes. Good for US only businesses, I think. Maybe?

You outnumber us 10-1. Who can ignore a client base like that? The exchange rate doesn't hurt either Smiling

I think it will be popular and initially will be used for very relevant content by us based businesses. One thing is for sure - it opens up a lot of new useful names (only need to worry about trademarks, etc.,).

I don't think it will be pronounced by more people as "us" (a word) but rather as "dotyouess" - may be I am wrong.
