d0t Us domain names

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with .us domain names.

Will search engines look at this as heavy as a .com or .net in terms of seo?

I want to create a blog with a .us extension since the .com and .net were taken.

Is your blog intended for US readers?
If so then i wouldn't see a problem with it.

I don't know of any negative association with the .us extension, in contrast to the .info extension.
