Visa just launched a site under V.Me and it looks like their “Wallet” solution
“”V.me is a new service from Visa that lets you shop without sharing your card account information with the seller when you pay.””
“”Shop online or on your mobile device.”
“Get timely alerts for your Visa card. ”
“With one secure account and password, you can shop with confidence.””
So using V.me you can according to the site:
“Make payments without sharing your card account information with the seller”
“Speed through secure checkout by entering your email address and password.”
“Pay with any card, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.”
and its free.
Another great boost to the .Me extension.
Great news! Guess how much they paid for v.me?
Nice service – I’ll use it instead of paypal
Not.me
great news I own ewallet.me. mobilepayment.me and mobilewallets.me

so, it’s a GFlop+
The V.me move is great for the .me domain space. Very exciting.
now is the right moment to sell v.co … 🙂
vme.com is gonna get a huge traffic spike windfall.
thank you visa.
Another one on the Digital / Mobile Wallet bus.
Cheers
Great to see larger companies move into the .Me space. I think the public should catch on quickly and companies like visa have all the advertising means to make that happen. Also different than just the dating type sites like bangin.me and the likes that have been popping out of the woodwork lately.
I love short domains. I love creative use of country specific extensions. But I just can’t stand the .me. Not rational, I just hate it as an extension – almost as much as .info (almost!)
Apparent.ly, Delicious is to cook something under “D dot ME” too. Other L dot ME are still held by the registry.
I’m wondering if any big brands are going to start using more of the short domain extensions for the TV and billboard advertising. Harder than ever to get truly memorable domains so I’m thinking getting a short name that ‘works’ might be the way bigger companies seek to tie web presence with offline marketing.
Take f.me and fancy.me…
Short name is okay. But meaning.ful.me is better.
Now, Microsoft goes with names like so.cl – read all about it @ http://many.at/socl/
And yes, socl.com redirects to so.cl 😉
