Spaceship Spaceship
To celebrate one year of official live launch of the popular .me domains, Brands-and-Jingles has issued a white paper on how “me”-branded names are used in marketing. In its effort the advertising agency wants to congratulate .me registry team, registrars, the developers and Internet users with another important milestone of jingling online marketing and wish the one year old baby many happy returns.

The document summarises the first year of .me domain names as well as provides exhaustive overview of “me” advertising with numerous examples.

“In less than a year .ME domains became more popular than .asia, .jobs, .coop, .aero, .int, .mil, .museum, .name, .pro, .tel, .travel, and other 200 country code top-level domains” – notes the document.

.ME enjoyed record auction sales: Date.Me was sold for $70,000. Another very attractive domain name Insure.Me scored impressive $68,000. Some other big sales include: Love.Me – $32,500; Ask.Me, Hug.Me, Kiss.Me, and Teach.Me – $20,000 each; Match.Me, Rank.Me, Buy.Me – $17,500 each; Verify.Me – $16.000; LasVegas.Me, ChatWith.me, Korea.me – all above $15,000; Solve.Me – $13,116; Picture.Me – $10,240; and Recruit.Me – $10,155.

Word “me” can be found on every fourth web page. It is used by thousand of companies for their brands and marketing campaigns to steer the consumers into buying their products. Apple’s “Mobile Me”, Microsoft’s “It all about me”, famous British “Model.Me” beauty brand, “23andMe” developed by Anne Wojcicki, the wife of Sergey Brin, – the list is practically endless.

Not only .me web sites are novel and easy to remember, they also attract many online customers: Notify.Me – helps its users managing real-time updates, YouAnd.Me – a top free dating site with fastest growth in 2009, PicFor.Me – new popular photo sharing site, DressUp.Me – games for girls, etcetera.

Results 1 - 10 of about 2,230,000 for site:.asia

I think .me has some future left, most hit-words are already taken away ;)
But if you can spot some good deals and are ready to hold of for 2-3 years then you would get some good bucks...purely from domain investing perspective.
