Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
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. These stats can be found in DNPric.es stats section.
After few hours spent on discussing the previous post, an interesting summary was born. Below is the list of TLDs as they were searched in domain names of other TLDs stress-testing their suitability to brandability and some extend to domain hacking. Domain name like “home.co.ke” was counted as the one ending with “me”. Numbers represent […]
After some Excel crunching staff at Brands-and-Jingles has found 7075 domain names in the Alexa top one million that ended with “me” but were not “.me” sites.

During the routine check on bedo.com, which was recent.ly sold at Search Engine for Domain Offers (a.k.a. SEDO), it was noticed that it is still down, already for a while, waiting for its big day. Sometimes, big investments end up in nowhere. Never mind that, recent.ly SEDO also sold two “me”-tagged domains: aroundme.com (US$ 4,600) […]
.ME made it to the list of the top 10 most popular ccTLDs (country-code top level domains) sold by SEDO (Search Engine for Domain Offers). For the top nine ccTLDs the spread looks as follows: .de (60%), .co.uk (13%), .eu (9%), .es (4%), .nl (3%), .at (3%), .tv (3%), .me (3%), .fr (2%) Thus, in […]

No one is questioning the importance of .com. We marketers do love it. Every respectful business of significant size will strive for a .com website. For another next decade it will dominate the Internet. Nevertheless, mighty .com will gradually lose the market share as it already does. The first issue with .com is that names […]
Few university students some when back in pre-dot-me 2007 have launched a site globalme.org but named it Global.Me. It is either that they didn’t know about .Me or did not manage to overbid Ben Van Dyk, who acquired the domain in August 2008 for decent $709.98. The real Global.Me is just featuring Global.TV.
