.ME Domains

Anybody get one? I don’t really keep up with news that much and didn’t find out that they were open for registration until about 16 hours after the fact. Still I grabbed a few domains and will probably do nothing with them. Some of the ones I got :

Drummers.me (might do something with this one just for fun)
Mints.me
That.me
Credit-Report.me

Just fun to play around with I guess, but the minimum 2 year signing at $20 is kind of ghetto, ended up spending ~$500.

    yea I only got one – and gon to use it for one purpose – since I got a really good 1 word domain. I mean there really is a lot of hype on the first day but what hppens on the second day? I am still waiting for friggin godaddy to give me my hosting package cause I cant use any other host – beat!

  2. Rich Hill says:

    Let us know if you get to keep them all. Most of the complaints that were written about yesterday were because GoDaddy accepted the payment and then took them away afterwards.

    I wrote a couple of posts about the mess on my Blog, and there are links to other sob stories.

    Can’t you just flip them for profit?

  4. casthompson says:

    I scooped up http://www.pleaseclick.me as well as a few other novelty ones. I’ll end up developing them in a few months.

  5. artarmon says:

    What about uber.me? ;)

  6. Stephane says:

    I should’ve bought blow.me

  7. Moneybites says:

    not bad domains at all, that.me is especially nice.

  8. Collin LaHay says:

    Thought about it, but figured I would end up regretting it later like I usually do with domains.

  9. I managed to get stash.me :)

  10. andy says:

    I had registered pizza.me in the initial landrush but had it stolen off me after some guy in Israel apparently registered it as a trademark! Be interested in what pops up on that domain in the future.

    I did manage to get, and keep hold of tshirt.me though, might have some fun with that one.

  11. I think the domains are way hyped up, and personally I don’t think most of them would be worth anything.

  12. andrew says:

    You are right. All the sheeple think that they are worth something because they look cool. These are the same as .biz, .name, .info. No type in traffic, no seo benefit, and negative effects on branding all for 2x the cost of a .com. What a steal!

  13. DamnSmiley says:

    do you really think this new domain name is worth a shot? Like would people really be interested in bidding high on the popular names?

  14. DamnSmiley says:

    you see? same thing i was thinking!

  15. James Wilcox says:

    I snapped up hippodro.me

    Hoping my friend wants to buy it because he runs a club called The Hippodrome, also thought it was kinda cool.

  16. ben says:

    Not even the purchase I made for debitcards.me?

  17. Kees says:

    This is great. We had a discussion about this topic a month ago in the Netherlands.
    You can create nice words like kiss.me, love.me hate.me
    Fun

  18. Wes Mahler says:

    Spent $440 on them, we’ll see if I use them though, programming to much.

  19. Wes Mahler says:

    If you can get a good .me domain with one of the keywords you are using, this may be a good bet, idk about re-sale value, I don’t know much about domaining myself, although I’d think the $40 investment for a good keyword rich do main would be a worthwhile investment. ,

  20. magnesium says:

    It is too expensive, isn’t it?

  21. Marko says:

    Why dont you use your own hosting? I’m using MT with mine…

  22. Moneybites says:

    No doubt some porn webmaster would have snatched it up before you

  23. SuperCrushed says:

    I don’t think they are all a waste..if you grabbed domains like sex.me and those three and four word domains, you will be able to flip that down the road for a good profit, maybe even now.

  24. Andy says:

    No way, I don’t want to waste my time and money on virtual junk like .me

  25. seems like you might be able to. you would just have to find buyers

  26. Charles says:

    Got generation.me in the landrush.

    Bidding on 38 others. Basically cost me ~ $5000 just for the entrance fee to all those auctions.

    Bidding on insure.me right now. It’s up to $12,000 so far :(

  27. Frank says:

    Hey Uber, no more new postings?
    Is it b/c of wickedfire?

  28. Joe says:

    Total waste of money I think.

  29. wisdom says:

    I think you are better off picking up some 2 word dot coms than one of these.

  30. xmas says:

    me domain. What a perfect idea. Does anybody have the one. I’d like to have the one under the name read.me

  31. Wade says:

    We will see if they get any respect. They are too expensive though. Was going to get an info domain for .99 cents from godaddy, but then you gotta pay almost $9 for private registration. Or else the whole world knows where I live.. Not a smart idea when you have a family.

  32. I’ve always thought .me weren’t worth much. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Got something to say? Go for it!
