It’s Not You, It’s .Me!

As of today you can register a whole bunch of new, obscene and funny domain names. Montenegro has launched a Registry Service together with Afilias and GoDaddy to sell .ME domains. Soon you will be able to register any domain name ending in .ME at Nic.me.
Besides the obvious ‘screw.me‘, ‘forget.me‘ and ‘notyoubut.me‘ domains there must be millions of variations you can come up with. We can imagine a whole range of new Web2.0 services launching soon that take advantage of this name. Just as Del.icio.us inspired Script.aculo.us, Blo.gs, Project.ioni.st and Wua.la.
LinkedIn will soon be rebranded ‘connect.me‘ and Google might go for ‘searchfor.me‘. Or not. But do think about your own brand name and consider registering it before someone else does. Unfortunately the register page was still under construction when we tried to register ‘Visit.me‘
Know a really funny .ME name? Let us know in the comments here.
PS: recognize the title? Think you invented it? You are not alone:

I’m sorry to disappoint, but right now it looks like Montenegro’s registrar will keep the Yugoslavian practices of enforcing a second level subdomains in .me. Like in .yu, there’s no google.yu (google.co.yo). So, something like please.co.me or wel.co.me should be possible.

Muczachan, that is not so. According to their rules, the second level domains (i.e. premium domains) will be available for a hefty fee; third level subdomains will be available to local businesses for free.
Do you really think GoDaddy would go for it otherwise? :)
