Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
After a drop, domain name eventful.me was registered by MarkMonitor on behalf of Microsoft. Or so say the whois records.
The domain name redirects to http://www.bing.com/search?q=eventful&form=MSSRPD.
Quite of an interesting move from Microsoft, don't you find?
One cannot argue against "Drive Me" when it comes to self-driving cars. And Volvo moved in and "claimed" this slogan first.
Please see the video about the pilot project "Drive Me – Self-driving cars for sustainable mobility". Volvo Cars technical expert on autonomous driving Erik Coelingh presents the technology and test set-up in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden:
Since at Brands-and-Jingles we started to add the tip on how to price domain names referring to the top historic sales in the corresponding TLD, the offers started to look much more attractive, people would often add an extra zero to the right.
As an example, you can see a typical offer page on pizza4.me with the corresponding link:
Despite being relatively a young kid in the world of top-level domain names (TLDs), .ME appeared to be number 9 globally traded ones. Preceded only by .com, .de, .net, .org, .uk, .mobi, .info, .eu and leaving big and older players like .tv and .fr behind.
According to the latest report from Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries, .ME remains the highest growing European top-level domain:
To celebrate its first mini jubilee .ME registry came up with an interesting infographics and confirming it added another 100,000 domain names to its base.
Three years ago, there came a bit relaunch of .CO, to celebrate which Sedo has published an interesting paper. This paper is very relative to .ME as well, as it provides insights on pricing. In just five years .ME went from a baby Internet extension to the top 5 TLDs. Well done!
Last year this blog has covered popular .ME names @ Sedo. Then, we have found 687 of them (those with more than one bid). This spring we decided to have a look on .ME names that currently have at least two bids on GoDaddy auctions and found 209 of them. This is certainly a signal that Sedo offers a better market for .ME sellers, and yet, GoDaddy should not be neglected.
.LY of course!
