I think this shows the incredible branding power of the .me extension... First Wordpress used WP.me , and now Facebook is using FB.me... They could have used any other obscure ext, but they chose .me for a reason, it simply FITS...

No one I talk to even KNOWS about me. But then you put up a cool little Tumblr redirect or something and people like it. How did you get a cool LLL.me?!?

Err....no one wanted it :-) People love em when they see them. Not sure about businesses... I have a perfect advertising plan for a large corp just don't know what ad agency they use to sell them on it :-)

Fb .me is now number 19 in the top 100 list of url shorteners. Beating some long established ones, but still a long way to go.

I've recently received several offers for dotme premiums -- so the extension is alive and well.

One dotme site, formspring.me is becoming a social media phenomenon --- incredible traffic worldwide -- and now a very valuable property

Try stepping out of your pond, there are oceans out there to explore.

One successful site doesn't an extension make, but its good to see decent dev for a .me

Mobineer is on a distinguished road
 



I sold 4 premium dotme names this week to one enduser (company) for a total of $ xx, xxx, which would be 12X my ROI -- I had planned to dev the names, SEO and rank them, but I've got too many projects and ventures on my plate.

This Company vigorously pursued me over the last month, but I did not respond, as I was dealing with a family tragedy.

I'll check with them to see if I can discuss the details, but I think not.

DotME is a viable extension. In fact, per my portfolio -- DOTMEs rank #2 on the offers I receive. Obviously, DOTCOM is King and provides at least 10X the offers of Dotme.

keep the faith

And most people don't know it's related to the .com! As they say in Twitter. #FAIL

Congrats Mobineer... Sorry to hear about family tragedy...especially around this time of year.

May I ask.. these names you are getting offers on... how are you advertising them? Or, are the enduusers pursuing you via WHOIS?

Cheers!

I appreciate the comments about our family tragedy. It was sad, but life continues...

Per the enduser, this group actually contacted me -- 4 names related to their Company's offerings, and these were call-to-action verbs, with the dotme extension.

I had to sign a confidentiality agreement, so don't think I can reveal the names or entity/buyer.

thanks and may 2010 be a good year for all on this forum -- especially with your health, families, friends, and financial situations!

Hi,
I don't think there is any relation between the value of the two domains.

I sold laon.me for $30 or so on bido, the .com went for $500k.

Also, the .me is market is mostly smoke and mirrors, no one is really buying.

Not even good domains at really cheap prices - http://www.namepros.com/cctld-domain...n-pricing.html

I had good .me sales in December... I sold 2 .me for $175 each, and 2 for $100 each....

I think the .me market is so young, that's why there are still some incredible bargains to be had.. I agree, it is still a buyers market, but this will change in a couple of years.. Nonetheless, I have almost 50 decent .me's coming up for renewal, and I am renewing them all, I consider them a 3-5 year long term investment, just like my .tels.....
