Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
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!

They lacked the scale, a sexy name, and probably few more other important things. Now, “Google Me” is on everyone’s lips. Just google it. Every major paper or television channel […]
Just another proof that short URLs have extraordinary value. Twitter uses the t.co domain as part of a service to protect users from harmful activity, to provide value for the developer ecosystem, and as a quality signal for surfacing relevant, interesting tweets.
