Other than a handful of sales of keywords that form "hacks", such as date.me, kiss.me etc. there has been no indication of a "fast success". Unless you count simply the number of registrations by lemmings.

every thread you have started in this section or on this forum for that matter, is about or ends up discussing .me names. .me has it's own discussion section and you have created dozens of threads relating to the sale of .me domains, which if not started there, were moved there. we don't need to see .me all over the forum, like we saw .mobi when it was launched. final point: investing in domain names is not news...it's what we do every day!

I'm not saying that you can't make a non-dot-com extension a popular site. You certainly can as long as you provide something people want, and promote it properly. But if you're going to put a substantial amount of time and money in developing a site, it helps to get the benefits of credibility and prestige with a .com. As for investing in .me, there is a small market (I would imagine mainly domainers caught up in the frenzy) and some money to be made, especially if you got in at the beginning and picked up some of the best keywords (health, credit, travel, sex, movies, music, flowers, etc). Congratulations to those who picked up some of those for the initial registration fees, or for low prices. I hope they work out for you, as I own Japanese IDNs and hope my bets pay off for me too! No, I don't think people mainly into .coms worry about the success of .me, or any other extension. In fact, we would like to see those "unlimited" extensions become a reality. More TLDs means more confusion and elevates the value of .com. | |

Again .me has AlL the facts and super good news to be a major player and would not be smart to ignure this. Because internet is all about Youand.Me | |

Country: | In that list I see nothing but: 1. Domain hacks 2. A few usual suspects: keywords sought after regardless of extension 3. Umm, that's it. In other words, the other 1.2 million .me domains were bought by lemmings, just like the .mobi mania freaks.

| Platinum Lifetime Member | [quote=Biggs101;1566643].me domains are evolving at a rapid pace - coming from a pure .com investor. To test the market, I picked up just one .me domain (cost me the same as a fresh Pizza): Publishing.me - I gave myself 48 hrs to find a buyer (end user or reseller). I sold 1 day later for $2,500! .me has also done very well at the TRAFFIC auction in NEW YORK. And they are often ahead of the domaining crowd concerning future trends. No one can judge this extension before giving it a chance to flourish and mature. Let's wait 6mths to a year (minimum) and come back to this subject. Judging at this early stage is about as useful as trying to predict how long it will take before our economy is back on track. Only TIME will tell...[/quote] Yes very true good post!!! |

As for myself, I am in the 'Not.ME' crowd. That probably means that you'd be well advised to go out and buy up every 'vaguely coherent' .ME domain that you can dream up!

Country: | I am a little bit biased because i am on .me train, however i think end users will ultimately decide. Actually before investing in .me i asked a lot of my clients who are not into domains what they thought of .me extension and many said that it sounds interesting. So the question is do short, pretty and brandable domains have a future or is it all about traffic?

I've got to wonder why anyone would have paid $24,189 for 'aweso.me' (God that's a horrible name!) and it's just possible (even highly likely!) that the owner of lawyers.info would have accepted $16,905 for it. Thats an infinitely better extension for that word no matter how well .ME does in the end! BTW - Didn't anyone in 'basic domains 101' learn that what comes after the 'dot' should not have anything to do what comes after the 'dot'? Would you want 'Americom.COM' or 'Ameri.COM'? Lots of people tried this with .US as well as in 'Carsr.US'. At least they only paid about $5.00 at the time. Can anyone think of a significantly used domain that uses what comes before and after the 'dot' together as a phrase or word?? I can't.

| Platinum Lifetime Member | Here is a great forbes.com article about .me DotComGod just posted in the Library > Domain Names .NEW YORK, BUSINESS WIRE -- The upstart domain extension DotMe (www.domain.me) has launched with a bang. Intermarketing's Peter Nilson reports, "Due to the success and potential of the ME domain, our company is preparing to use the extension for several of our clients' upcoming marketing campaigns." http://www.forbes.com/businesswire/f...5005456r1.html |

Country: | I think what will give .me a jump start is when a big company like pepsi, google, mac or someone uses one in a major ad campaign so people can even hear about it. Has anyone heard of that happening? thanks, willie |

Country: | Adam's posts about news are automated/RSS feeds so I doubt he personally endorses .me as you wish to make it sound Also, the article itself is nothing more than a press release, not an independent review.

| Platinum Lifetime Member | Rick has recently stated that he has invested in the .me ![]() http://www.domainsmalltalk.com/2008/...rick-schwartz/ "Any other extensions to be aware of? I am a .com guy. I dabble in .mobi and I have a partnership with some high profile .me domains. So I am not the best person to respond to this. I am very biased. What I will say is no matter what extension, don’t waste your money on crap. Buy only premium keyword type domains and your risk will be much less." |

| Platinum Lifetime Member | why am i biased? it's just an interview, and that was his response. ![]() Honestly, I like .com, .org, .mobi, .tv, .pro and .me. That's how I see the game. I'm very prochoice in the matter. If you are CNO, cool, good luck with your initiatives. |

DNF$: 406 Location: dnforum.com | country .me sold for US$600 http://www.sedo.com/auction/auction_...ction_id=42597 Would most of us be willing to sell a .com equivalent for 1,000 times (US$600,000), 100 times (US$60,000), or even 10 times (US$6,000), the amount?
