.me The .ME Discussion and Showcase

[BigSotong.com]

The Government of Montenegro recognized the potential worldwide appeal that .ME could have and decided it should be operated as a generic name space to gain the maximum benefit for Montenegro. The Government issued a public RFP in November 2007. The goal of the RFP was to find a Registration Agent that could operate an international registry, provide world class backend registry services, and provide the marketing and promotional muscle needed to make .ME a worldwide success. Ultimately, we believe they made an excellent choice!

The contract was awarded to doMEn, d.o.o., a Montenegro based joint venture (doing business as .ME Registry) whose partners are Afilias Limited, GoDaddy.com, Inc., and ME-net d.o.o.

Landrush will start June 6 till June 26, domain names with more than 2 applications will go into Auction.

Go Live on July 17.

SO, what do you all think about the coming .me?

.ME Prime Time TV Commercial!!

Hi Everyone!

I'm watching American Idol final show right now on a Canadian network. So far the same commercial has appeared twice during the commercial breaks this evening. This in my opinion is PRIME TIME and is probably only second to the Super Bowl.

It is a political commercial, which is actually slamming this guy.. but the website that they ask you to go to is..

Ignatieff.me

It is the first .ME address that I have seen on tv. It appears that it was reg'd through Facebook.

Saucey

 

[MicroGuy]

There's a brave new world coming in terms of marketing and new ideas on the internet. Kids are growing up with lots of great, new ideas. Some could absolutely transform the internet.

They will, they have, and they are.

That's the problem with the antiquated domain naming system. Fewer and fewer people need and are using individual domains. I can see a day in the not so distant future where we live in a World without domains. A time when individuals put up pages on pre-existing social platforms and businesses build out storefronts using similar means and methods. A time when domain demand shrinks and daily drops begin to pour down like a nightmarish hellish rainstorm.

A time when America will wake up and realize that our Government is really little more than one big corporate tool used to control and enslave the human race. A time when toilet paper will be reusable and fluoride will be recognized as the neurotoxic poison that it really is. A time when babies will be breast fed by robots and bubble gum will never run out of flavor and be made with all natural ingredients. A time when we will pee into tubes and pure drinking water will come out of the other end. Indeed, there are many great changes ahead.

And the fruits will fall on those that are most sober, the ones that are the most innovative, the ones that have the great vision to see those things to come. IMO

 

[stingrae]

Have to expand your thinking. The verb and call to action is more domainer type thought that the extension is only good for that. Had that great meet.me sale. Geo's work great, even your basic generics, shopping terms. When people shop online or look for info, most of the time it's for themselves. Take a look at the last auction, what was one of the biggest sales? Flowers. Take a look at what other keywords sold in that auction, it runs the gamut. Besides meet.me another good sale this year was business.

I actually think the domainer type thought is that a great keyword works in any extension. I would venture a guess that 95% of the names in Sedo's last auctiion were bought by domainers.

We all have to place our bets but I think the end user money is in the verb/call to action .me names and the keyword .me names will be traded between domainers under the greater fool theory of investing.

 

[nametrekker]

I took a chance and got many premium .me names in 2008, at an investment of about $50 K. Also helped launch one of the most popular .me sites. My return so far has been over $150 K and I've received offers from giant companies for some of the more than 30 premium .me names I still have.

Of course, I still believe .com is king, and I love .org, but .me has been one of my best investments in the domain space.

 

[emjohn]

It all depends what you want to do. .com is the staple extension. I don't care much for .net. .org is for mostly non-commercial usage.
Personally, I like .com, .co, .de, .tv and .me. But you really need the better keywords for the ccTLDs. I wouldn't bother with .fm or the similar. Waste of money.

Hi John,
thanks for sharing experience. I'm also interested in tv, co, fm domains. What do you think about this areas? Is it advisable to spend money on them, or better to concentrate on com, net, org?

Regards,
Vitaliy

I have a few .me renewals coming up, need advice which are worth renewing?

eSync.me
Freshen.me
Discounted.me
Promiscuous.me

Sorry, but I'd drop them all. e, past-tense, and limited use verbs will likely not have resale value.

There was a report on BBC recently that Montenegro is a mafia state. I won't be surprised if there were some systematic shill biddings.

Unfortunately this is the case with almost all the extensions, especially .com. Sometimes the whole business of domaining appears sleazy to me.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Upcoming

Sedo and Brands-and-Jingles are releasing 190 premium .ME domain names like shared.me, upload2.me, interesting.me, knows.me, dislike.me, n-y.me, listed.me, keyboard.me, healthcover.me, tagged.me and more at the level of the nominal prices ranging between $149 and $999.

Full details: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sedo-brands-jingles-partner-auction-200300139.html

$5.99 Reg @Namecheap.com

Use code: JUST4ME
Limit: 10/user

 

[ThreeD]

Buy.Me was definitely a nice sale. I'm surprised nobody has reported it over at domaining.com.

We've picked up a couple of .ME's for development ourselves.

 

[nametrekker]

Sold some premium .me names recently family.me and kredit.me -- expect family.me to be developed into a great site/app. Several substantial offers on other premium .me names, but I'm intent on developing. But you can develop only so many names well.

 

[nametrekker]

Just.me is now in Beta. What FB would have liked to be as "mobile". $4.2 million in funding from the highest-tier investors and with pedigree team

PORTO.ME

2nd largest city in Portugal, and has Global city status, whatever that means.

Of course they are for sale if anyone should be interested in these geo gems...

So we have two examples of defensive registrations (none are resolving) by end users, but there is no indication that these names were sold by a domainer to an end user.

.ME Announce Spark.me Startup Competition

 

[.NJ]

Looking for opinions. Should I develop, short, keep, or drop?:

Deed.me
Mattress.me
Toner.me
Pea.me
Once.me
Built.me
Spree.me

Thanks for your help.

Built.me and Spree.me are brandable in my eyes, and could make cool sites with the right ideas.

I would release the rest back into the sea.
