Third World Education
They are ccTLD but they are promoted as Credit Card or a simple, easy-remember double letter extension for .cc; promoted as Website or Worldsite for .ws

Yes, I think they are good. But the hot ccTLD would be .us and .eu

.cc = Cocos Islands
.ws = Western Samoa

These, as stated above, are ccTLDs. They belong to relatively obscure countries but they're appetizing to some domainers because they are short and fairly brandable. There are still good keywords in both extensions available. They're often branded as being more than just ccTLDs.

As written above, thyey are both ccTLDs but are quite IN with webmasters and domainers because of brandability. e.g. a Credit Card company might go for a .cc name rather than a .com
