closed Prowl.us and Crawl.us

I've been thinking about regging these for a while.
What do you think their value/potential value are?

Sites for stalkers? "PleaseStalk.Us"

I don't see any resale value in the names themselves. The vanity factor isn't there since .us hasn't really caught on yet.

Prowl.us would be good for a Panther's Football site.

Crawl.us could be a spider indexing/web crawler type site

I'd skip them if you don't want to develop.

I have to get them in the hopes this .us gets going.

In Google

Prowl gets 160,000 hits

and

Crawl gets 1,010,000 hits
over 1 million for 1 word is a lot of potential!

Yeah, but those are just verbs taken out of context in Google. These are cool names, but talking money, they're worthless.

People just don't search for those particualr words. Why would they? Can you buy crawls or prowls? Nope. You can't even associate merchandise or services to the terms.

They're just neat-sounding. And neat-sounding sells with .com, but not with .us I'm afraid.

I think .US may have a future but if I wanted to bet on it I would pick up better names than these and there are a lot of them still available in .US. 160,000 items is actually a pretty low number for Google. I'm surprised it found a million references to crawl, but I don't see much commercial value in either, even if .US takes off.

crawl.us would be a heck of a cool name for a directory/search engine
