Zumu.Co Running National Ads On ESPN

May 21, 2012 by Michael Berkens

Since Overstock I haven’t seen a national ad on TV for a .Co site until today.

I just saw an ad for a site Zumu.Co running nationally on ESPN.

No Zumu.co does not own Zumu.com nor does it own Zumo.co or Zumo.com

Zumu.Co is a way to sell your used Games, Dvd’s and Cd’s for cash or they will contribute the funds to a charity.

The company is headquartered out of Detroit.

    Too bad they are not a public corp – otherwise their stock would be as HOT as facebook – which as of today is trading $5 under its IPO 🙂

    Zumu.co isn’t accessible.

    “404 – File or directory not found.
    The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.”

    .Co is conquering the world.

    You must switch now.

    Doesn’t resolve for me either.

    It happend to resolve for me – but whether it resolves or not – the business will yield the same results – just like o.co.

    Server Error
    404 – File or directory not found.

    The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

    Maybe they changed their mind about using a .co 😉

    The site worked for me as well. Cute design to the site. I think .COs aren’t a bad alternative to .COM, as long as you have a site that’s worth going to. People will bookmark you of they like you, so they won’t have to remember to type in .CO, rather than .COM.

    That said, let’s not fool ourselves, Mr. Cline. Of course people would prefer to own the .COM version of a name, if they can get it, that is.

    .Co must be part of anyone’s healthy portfolio.

    If you are not already upgrading to

    .Co

    you will be required to.

    just now watched the commercial very carefully and I noticed something

    zumu.co

    really looks awesome and the commercial sounds awesome.

    if it wasn’t for the mistake that .com was being used first, a noncommital person would prefer

    zumu.co

    by a long shot.

    great job

    zumo.co

    Lets see R.cOBERT .CoLINE –
    We have:
    Hillary Clinton’s “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”
    Mitt Romney’s “Vast Left Wing Conspiracy”

    and
    now we have your
    “Vast .CO Conspiracy”

    Collectively I have never been more entertained in my life.

    someone hears

    zumu.co

    and we instantly understand it to be company.

    now alternatively say to yourself

    limu.com

    and we instantly say huh limu. dot com ? commercial

    limu commercial, does that make any sense, no it doesn’t

    call it conspiracy, call it what have you. But

    .Co

    is your new King.

    Robert, so the ultimate .CO name… nay, the ultimate domain name of ALL TIME, would be, KING.CO.

    Unfortunately, a bed company in Panama already owns it. Lucky.

    lucky indeed.

    got another call

    this morning inquiring on another

    LLL.Co

    Hey everyone, I contacted Zumu: hey@zumu.co and here is their response:

    “Sorry you have been unable to hit our site. We are, at present, only operational in the US. Since a 404 error is no way to greet a potential guest, we will have a non-US landing page in place shortly. Thanks for your comments!”
