jesus u got me scared, however I did suspect something when it said that getting the .us was perfect for expanding their market.

 

[hhunterjr]

Who says is it is an april fool's joke? Zouzas is usually on the mark.

I'd like to know if it's real or not. It won't change my opinion of zouzas. I've never met zouzas, but he seems pretty cool.

I would like to know if this is real or not though. It has big implications on the .us domain market.

This appraisal is about as realistic as Movies.com going for that amount. Sorry for the bad news. It will take time to create value in the dot US market.

I think appraisals like this do more harm then good to a domain market because it looks "Staged".

The "hype" without the "stuff" is a sign that people would like for the "gold" to actually be gold. As we found out in the 1880's, we have to take the stuff back to the market to see if it's fools good or the real McCoy. Unfortunately only top tier dot com names are considered gold. As a supporter of .biz I find my position very sobering.

note: I do think certain dot us and .biz names will find a market. All the rest will be labeled "2nd tier".

Alll guys who want to earn big money on .us names right now are April fools. But who knows may be they will become very rich after 2-3 years.
