6/8 months from now all the guys have buyed these names when they will trying to sell they loose money.
Different story for the companies...they buy that .me domain to protect the brand.
The registrars thanks because they make more money again.
.ME SUCKS.

[moneydomains]

Well not sure about that.
According to news GoDaddy had world record sales on the new Dot .Me domains.

It is also perfect to brand a site like kiss.Me or Youand.Me or Insure.me

Able and other big firm are also buying Me names now

Godaddy and other registrars make more money from .me domains but...are you sure a private domain investor can sell these names in a mid term and make some money?
I think not.

Yes Godaddy and other registrars they do ,make money on .me domains
and other domains - and a .Me domain cost $20 right now and that makes it even more impressive that they had a world records sale on Me domains:

Here is from news:
>>>As far as the overall statistics were concerned, the .me domain names surpassed everyone’s expectations in terms of popularity. There were tens of thousands of me domain names registered within the first day registration. GoDaddy.com, the world's giant in the field of domain name registration, reported that they received over 20,000 different registration requests within the first 24 hours.

According to Bob Parsons, founder and CEO of Internet giant GoDaddy.com, "To the best of our knowledge, there have never been more registrations handled in one day during the ordinary course of business by any registrar in history."

Businesses such as Apple are getting into the "me" attitude with their me.com domain name as well as registrations for apple.me and itunes.me.<<

Just a matter of time and these domains will skyocket

Also dont forget the above .Me auction sales are only the Land-Rush auction where few where able to bid

The Premium .Me domains are up for auction in September where everybody will be able bid.
Like xxx.me, Casino.Me, Poker.Me..........

The good thing of the life is that we can dream for free

As you say in your post, not many know about .me. Only speculators have been bidding on these auctions. The reason GoDaddy is reporting highest number of registrations for .me is because of domain speculators that are betting on this extension.

Yes a record number of domain speculators are seing a big future in .Me Domains. I think for a very good reason they selling at record speed, because the internet is all about You and Me like Myspace, youtube and other mega sites.

Here is a Interesting article from google news:

>>>Published on Tuesday, August 26, 2008

August 26, 2008 Aurora, Ontario, Canada
An Open Letter to the Advertising and Marketing Community

You probably haven't heard, but a fairly quiet event occurred on July 17th - the new domain extension .ME hit the internet. Previously reserved for Montenegro, .ME has the power to change the way you advertise on-line. Yet it seems that almost no one in marketing knows about it!
Dot ME presents companies with a new channel for marketing their products and services. Opportunity lies in easy-to-remember, action-oriented, personalized domain phrases ending with "me", anything from "insure.me" or "stylish.me" to even something like "BringSalesTo.me".

Beyond slogans and action-oriented phrases, the power of .ME comes with reaching all people on a personal level. Anything a person can do is magnified and personalized when coupled with ME. Many domain names like athlete.me, healthy.me, beautiful.me and family.me are probably more powerful than their dot.com counterparts.

It's a well-known fact that all the great dot COM names have been taken, but dot ME is so new that many personal slogans are yet to be made available. 2,500 prereserved dot me names will be auctioned off starting in September with another 100,000+ premium domains being obtainable directly through their registrants. Innovative companies will have unique marketing opportunities to exploit these domains in personal campaigns that strongly promote both the brand and the domain.

Think about it. ME is a perfect marketing package. Any domain ending in ".ME" will maximize the sales message at a personal level with an empowering effect on advertising. Imagine how powerful and competitive a message like "champion.me" could be for a sports company, or "successful.me" for an educator.

The message is clear. A dot me domain is a unique marketing vehicle that is awaiting exploitation. The challenge will be to distinguish dot ME from dot COM. No one wants to confuse the public, so it's up to your industry to develop a new marketing paradigm to take dot ME domains beyond dot COM.

Don't listen to all the bullshit media said.
They trying to sell a product.
I understand this media hype...but you remember .mobi?

I own only a .me, my company domain.
But I'm happy if .me works...more new extensions born, more .com is worth.
And 95% of my domains are .com

A surplus of cash often leads to a shortage of sense
