    They are pretty popular but unless its some sort of premium keyword or city/state in the us it probably won't be worth much..If you plan to develop thats a whole different story.

    They have potential but aren't that popular as other ccTLDs like .co.uk & .de

    I think it may take some time here. People are still caught up in the .com in the US it seems but I have a few decent .us names. If you find some killer keywords, they are definitely worth grabbing I think.

    In the US, people are a lot more accustomed to .com over .us. Plus they have stupid restrictions that are holding the extention back unlike the .co.uk & .de where anyone in the world can register them.

    I've bought some .us names. I think they will continue to go up in value but if you were to get them appraised right now I doubt they will be worth near as much as a .com or .net.

    Since most of the .com sites are developed by Americans, .us lost its purpose IMHO.
