.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!

    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?

    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.

    What about uber.me? ;)

  6. July 19, 2008

    I should’ve bought blow.me
    8)

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

  8. July 19, 2008

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

    I managed to get stash.me :)

    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.

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

  12. July 20, 2008

    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. July 20, 2008

    You and me both.

  14. July 20, 2008

    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?

  15. July 20, 2008

    you see? same thing i was thinking!

  16. July 20, 2008

    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.

    Not even the purchase I made for debitcards.me?

  18. July 21, 2008

    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

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

  20. July 21, 2008

    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. ,

  21. July 21, 2008

    It is too expensive, isn’t it?

  22. July 21, 2008

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

  23. July 21, 2008

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

  24. July 22, 2008

    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.

  25. July 23, 2008

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

  26. July 23, 2008

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

  27. July 23, 2008

    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 :(

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

    Total waste of money I think.

  30. July 28, 2008

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

  31. August 8, 2008

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

  32. August 11, 2008

    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.

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