Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
Very bright marketing campaign by Blacknight.
.ME should be awarded the best product of the year indeed.
Have you heard of Fits.Me already? If not, you may find it very useful next time you buy your clothes online. The site's ranking is soaring on Alexa. Expect a new standard in the retail industry. Estonian programmers are very good in making it happen. Just remember Skype, which was also developed in the tiny Baltic state.
Very interesting fact is that fitsme.com was registered back in 1998. The whole concept waited for long 12 year and a jingly .ME domain to become reality.
Once again, many thanks to Sanja Lazović for the fabulous shots from her to.me album:

This said, they make nice eight three-letter names, 33 four-letter names, 79, five-letter names, 81 six-letter names, 64 seven-letter names, 30-eight letter names, 17 nine-letter names, one ten-letter and one eleven-letter names. All in total 314 names. Marketeers certain.ly love these short jingles. Will ordinary people love them as much? All domains are listed on PersonalNames.Me.
Does it seem odd: an extra dot right after the domain name? Not at all! This is how it was meant to be in the first place. URLs like http://google.com./ work just fine.
So why do people skip that last dot? Good question. Most probably, because it does not add any extra value and we like short brands, the shorter - the better, do we not?
One can only wonder how many people know about this last dot? I stopped some 50 persons today on the street and none did.
As advertised by the registry, few good .me names are now again available for grabs:
