Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
As of today, three .me domain names can be found in top 30 ccTLDs sales as year-to-date, or 10% of all ccTLDs.
* Art.me ($10,000)
* Dry.me (€6,666 = $9,132)
* Judge.me ($7,820)
Art.me was aquired by Chinese ArtNet.cn. Dry.me, sold by Brands-and-Jingles, went to German barber chain Velly.de. Judge.me is still parked at GoDaddy.me.
Taiwanese computer giant ACER has apparently registered Alive.Me last year. At the moment it is not clear what are its plans regarding this domain name as currently it does not resolve despite the valid nameservers.
Among many useful things, DomainsTools provide good insights on domain names sales. A recent search on .me reveals the following prices seen in the past two months:

Techmeme
One of the prominent online magazines Techmeme is using techme.me as its shortener.
Kiss.Me and Love.Me will be auctioned at DOMAINfest live auction with Simultaneous Online Bidding.
The auction begins on Thursday, Feb 3 at 7:30pm ET (4:30pm PT).
In addition to numerious .me sites this blog has covered in 2010, three somehow remained in the shadow until they were pin-poined by medomain.me:
Just launched, a new service, better than FormSpring.Me for its simplicity, meet ThreeWords.Me:

Russia's biggest social network ВКонтакте and one of the world's top sites is now using vk.me domain for it's short links. Prior to this, ВКонтакте has also purchased vk.com and yet decided to pursue with further, better and shorter options.
Let us remind our readers that earlier in 2010 Facebook decided to use fb.me and WordPress went for wp.me. Time magazine is using ti.me...
New TI.ME logo
For all the ti.me pages, see http://thatis.me/~gW
As it was kindly tipped by Tim Marland of ITServices4.me on .ME fan page, people are dumping their .mobi names as .me names are rising for "Mobile Enabled". For the full reference, please, see the original article on Tribble Agency.
As this blog has argued on many occasions - shorter and catchy names always win the branding battle.
