The open registration period for .me domains opens tomorrow at 11am EST, 8am PST.
About 30K names have been preregistered and Thousands more have been reserved and will be auctioned off at a later period, no sooner than September 2008.
All other domains will be avalible on a first come first serve basis.
You will have to do a 2 year registration and the cost is $19.99 per year.
Translation: all the good ones are spoken for already…

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.
