One of my compadres (Costa) over at http://www.USforum.us is working on a new business model and hoping to help make a name out of the .us extension. He plans on a social networking / community for bands/artists/users, close to myspace.com but on a more professional and ecommerce driven note. He already has put together 6 million pages of content and the site will launch in December 2005, planning to be the most visited .us site to date. Already, music.us gets 3 million page views a month and this is growing WITHOUT memberships. I was pleasantly surprised to also see that Google shows at least 10,400 backlinks already for the site and it’s not even done. Nice looking site too, check it out! http://www.music.us/ “Costa” is Contantinos Roussos of Los Angeles. Now with the success of that site following the great http://del.icio.us/ it has to speak well for the potential success of a Cartel partner’s (Mr. Blonde) upcoming site Business.us and who knows, could even inspire me to lofty levels with Bikers.us.
