Was just at time.come and there was an advertisement banner for General with the slogan "discreet tobacco use" --- That's the first ad I've see in the US for "real" swedish snus. Did anyone else see this? Looks like someone really wants to expand their market.

Cool. But, I'm not sure I would call a website "in the US." -
US Company, US hosting, US site... subject to US laws...Originally posted by RRKComment

Sure but there is a distinction between online and the physical world.Originally posted by RedMacGregorComment

Well, it is Time magazine, online or not, which is a big name US publication. So a General ad on their site is cool. With the net, more people may read the online version than the paper magazine these days too. Check the paper magazine, maybe there is an ad there too?Comment

.com = US!Comment

No, .com = "commercial". Everyone around the world can use it, even if non-commercial. Snuson.com for example is a purely finnish website with a server in Helsinki.Originally posted by Liandri
But I often wondered why so many non-commercial-sites form the U.S. and also Canada use the ending .com instead of .us or .ca.
I came a bit late to the internet-revolution (back in 2000 when it was already established - I mostly wait till new technologies become affordable and/or technically mature). Maybe one of our "web-veterans" can say a bit more. But .com = .us is definitely wrong.

I posted about a full back-page Rolling Stone add last summer. Don't care to look for it now, but it was for some vendor -- maybe getsnus? It had pics of General, Roda, Catch maybe, and some explanation about Swedish Snus. IN any case, it was a very expensive and bold advertisement. (maybe not getsnus - OK now I might look for it)
EDIT: It was getsnus. And my memory served incorrectly about the brands advertised (and it was Feb, not Summer):

From the thread about the GetSnus AD in Rolling Stone:
That's something I have been worried about. As snus gets (if/when) it gets bigger, the "bandwagon" kids jumping on and it becoming trendy.Originally posted by TBD
