Multilingual and/or international - the best approach?

[grnidone]

It's a small thing, but I don't like "one url fits all."

I like

widgets.co.us
widgets.co.uk
widgets.de

etc

But also with the flag thing in the upper corner.

Agreed 100% Heather. Local domains for local content.

>.us

has this ccTLD gained much traction?  Has it become normal for US users to see .us domains?

I assumed .com was still the norm for most US sites.

Given the choice for an international strategy, would you choose .com or .us for your US site?

[Rumbas]

I'd go for the .com anytime anywhere. .US seems fishy to me.

[Gurtie]

me too - I know Google say they assume .com is international, but .us sounds like a spam domain.

[grnidone]

You're right.  .com is the norm for US.  I was just trying to make the point..

I know it's wordpress, but would something like this so the job? - http://managewp.com/
