    I bet some good domains will registered tomorrow.

    It always happens.

    Stuff the registry missed and didn’t reserve.

    I didn’t buy into the dotme hype and don’t feel left out at all…

    Then again, back in the late 90’s I didn’t feel left out of the dotcom hype so…

    I agree Tony, I’m sure short one-word domains in strong categories will have ok values; I just find that noun.me’s feel weird to me when I say them.

    I can’t see how this extension will be any better than dot-info for valuation in the aftermarket.. and I actually don’t mind dot-info for many end-user purposes..

    I’m sure names like:

    help.me
    hire.me
    ask.me
    defend.me
    cure.me
    f#%@.me
    call.me
    tell.me
    treat.me
    train.me
    teach.me

    will be catchy and go for x,xxx. But, I’d rather spend that money on dotcoms.

    I like all those too.

    many of them are already reserved and will be auctioned off.

    When I read the response to this post I can not get it how some of the domain name owners have such a NEGATIVE mindset – they have NO positivity in them.

    All the good .me domain names are taken – what a lot of B.S.

    That even 50000 .me domain names are reserved there are still good domain names available.

    People – RESPECT Yourself – Believe in YOURSELF.
