Potential Of Me Domain

[nametrekker]

Curious to get some feedback per the new extension (dot.me) that just launched --- I saw some of the bids for the current dotme auction and I could not believe it --- then I consulted with some web and domain insiders -- they suggested the web will be more personal (more blogs, microblogs, etc) and Apple is rolling out a series of "me" products - mobileme -- Apple just paid significant money for me.com and many of the major companies' filed trademarks, even if for defensive reasons, received me filings during the sunrise ---

could this extension reach the traction of an org or mobi? Of course, it will never reach dotcom's shadow --- one thing, it's easy to brand --- 2 letters --- and unlike the dotmobi space (which I think has potential), it will be avail on websites with ample space for advertising ---

seems like it will fit in well with the so-called semantic and personalized web -- web 3.0, etc

anyone on this forum who grabbed some premium "me" s?

this could be a good bet --- with some potential IMO

I hope it gets good. I would like to see it do well. I only got one .me, but I still want it to do well.

Being new to domains, I can't tell though. :P

im sure there are several premium .me in here but for now i feel its just too early to tell.

i am personally just concentrating on developing mine

In terms of reg count, I doubt ME will catch ORG due to ORG's 23 year headstart, cheaper reg fee and entrenched development base. ME has a shot at catching MOBI. ME is shorter and has better semantic traits, while MOBI has a slight headstart, cheaper reg fee and an element of support uncertainty unique among TLDs.

Will .me get cheaper?

Don't know if .me will do well but I did grab my surname sim.me no choice since all extension was taken, do you considered it as premium?
