.ME of course

N.B. This post was updated as amid technical issues on SnapName.com 15 auctions were extended for another 24 hours.

We featured catchy.me actions that just finished on SnapNames two times already: with the inventory list and then a video on LookAt.Me.

As predicted, .Me team, and Nataša Djukanović in particular, did a great job in marketing those catchy names.

On the first final day (2010-05-11) the bottom line was just below US$ 150k (US$ 148,014 to be precise, including those not meeting the reserve). The final second day (2010-05-12) closed at US$ 148,973 (excluding unsold items). More »

Auction.Me @ Snap Names

Following recent 314PersonalNames.Me event, .ME registry is releasing another package of premium domain names on SnapNames. Without any doubt verb+me combinations will catch the highest interest, including of course "Avatar.Me". Shame James Cameron did not use this URL for his movie, unlike the guys from forthcoming Despicable.Me did. With the omnipresent publicity for the "avatar" keyword, surely, the value is in the name. Here are the most catchy names in the list:

Adopt.Me, Auction.Me, Auto.Me, Avatar.Me, Baby.Me, Believe.Me, Bug.Me, Change.Me, Check.Me, Click.Me, Clone.Me, Cool.Me, Design.Me, Feel.Me, Fun.Me, Get.Me, Good.Me, Guide.Me, Hold.Me, Hot.Me, Improve.Me, Inform.Me, Job.Me, Let.Me, Log.Me, Lookat.Me, Map.Me, Max.Me, Media.Me, Mini.Me, Name.Me, Phone.Me, Provide.Me, See.Me, Server.Me, Set.Me, Sport.Me, Talk.Me, Trade.Me, Use.Me, Vip.Me, and Voip.Me

It his recent article In Memoriam: http:// Joen Asmussen predicts the end of boring "http" prefixes.
