It’s a perfect marketing package where the domain is also the brand or service. Like successful.me for education, champion.me for a sports company. The advertising community will make use of the intrinsic names. Mark - Dot.ME is a great extension for branding. It’s a perfect marketing package where the domain is also the brand or service.

We did get one of our .me domains built pretty fast, it's already up and running: uan.me It's a social bookmarking site for business and internet marketing links. UanMes last blog post.

I'm fairly certain that Godaddy and the people running the .me tld have super strong terms posted somewhere on their websites. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to end up without much action from the court systems. The bright side for me is that I saw the problems with godaddy registration on the opening day of the .me landrush and hopped on over to dynadot. Nabbed quite a few good ones. Here's a couple: uan.me envio.me localsearch.me seoconsulting.me And a bunch more. So look for those sites to be developed in the near future. Good luck with your lawsuit.

There must be something that can be done about this! I brought 6 great domain names via Godaddy including www.sail.me and www.defend.me I was so happy when I registered them, I got the confirmation email and was on cloud 9. I took my wife and kids out for lunch to celebrate. Later that evening I checked my mail to find all 6 failed to register " Already registered" This is bullshit, how is it possible that one company was allowed to register all the good names? Anyone know of a lawyer to represent those who were affected ?

But if you didn't buy a domain during the sunrise or landrush phase, you won't be able to participate in that auction. Which is even more unfair. This is a scam. What it's starting to look like is that they ran a script that picked off the most requested registrations in the opening minutes. Then, auctioning those same domains to the highest bidders in a closed arena. Can somebody call a cop? A whole bunch of people have been robbed... Yes, they will be auctioned off.
