DOTME Domains Surpasses Everybodys Expectations in Domain Growth

You can add Portuguese to that list.

That'll be 191 million more that may use .me although from that 191m the most of them will be Portuguese and Brazillian people.

 

So...when is .you coming out?
And then .myself

Oh good..

Fucked.myself

Fuck.me

Fuck.you

Fucking.myself

 

I love how everyone tries to pose this as a missed opportunity. How much have you made from domains? How many of you make a living off them? Sorry, go spend all your money on .ME and come back rich. The all talk about a TLD really doesn't mean much. It's just part of the bigger fool theory. There is no added value for most of these new TLDs and .me is no exception.

 

I am earning a thousand dollars per month flipping .me domains!!! Happy?

 

Very. You just proved my point. The way you are making money is just flipping it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory Thanks. I couldn't have asked for anything more from you.

 

haha, you hit the nail in your own foot. You just proved your "chimp intelligence" by being a hypocrite. You are falling in the .com bandwagon and pointing to others that they doing otherwise. Thanks for your rebuttal. I knew from the start that you just poked your nose around here for no apparent reason than just to give your 2 cents worth personal belief....

 

Point out the hypocrisy. Bandwagon? It's an established market. The whole conspiracy against other TLDs is a tired excuse that comes up for every new TLD. You are flipping .ME to other speculators. It's in your interest to shout as loud as you can the virtues of .ME for this reason. Me? I have a disinterested stake in .ME and it's success or failure doesn't affect me in any way. Now, I am guessing everyone else posting about how great it is probably is in your boat, trying to flip them for a bunch of money with no real plan other than finding someone to pay more. How is that different from established TLDs you might ask? Well traffic simply put. .COM (and .net/org to lesser extent) have type in traffic creating inherent value in them, something .ME has none of. So .me is truly a pure speculative play and a pump and dump just like other bubbles we've seen in .mobi, LLLL.com and even LLL.com. Valueless names aren't limited to new extensions, plenty of garbage .com ones too, but the difference is the entire TLD is speculative versus some speculation within a TLD. So go ahead, extoll the virtues of your beloved .ME; its garbage, just ask anyone on the street if they've heard of .ME; they haven't. Why isn't this likely to ever change? Branding/money, I said it before and I will say it again. The unique circumstances that created the success of .COM(net/org) aren't replicable and each TLD since has had people saying the exact same thing as is being said here; none of them came to any real fruition. Doesn't mean there isn't money to be made, but for the average person, more money is lost on these TLDs than gained. Sorry, these new tld speculators are all the same and came up with rationalizations and justifications each time, and each time they sound just like the last ones; which failed.

You want to prove the value of .me? Explain what creates value in a TLD. Is it simple registration numbers? .info tried that (although their reasoning was a bit different and they had other goals in mind) and that didn't work.

 

Your explanation is nothing but self belief and a piece of s**t.
lol, one sure noob around aka .com Fanboy

 

"Each to there own" I always say

And forgive me for interrupting the lively discussion you two are having... but...

You assume he is only flipping .ME's?

So why do you seem to be so hell bent on talking .ME down? It sounds to me that you wish it would fail! Whats your agenda?

Good guess.. but your wrong.

I post about how great the TLD is because I think it is a great TLD! simple as that.
I think its catchy, memorable and very brandable..

I even have some! and guess what?... I hope to flip them one day for a profit. just like some people do with .com's
But I don't talk them up because I want to make a quick sale. I don't even intend to put mine on the market for at least another 5 years or so.

The numbers that have been posted in this thread speak for themselves. So far its looking like a very successful TLD.

If you believe that people are only talking them up just to flip them.. then you need to take off your tinfoil hat and stop watching the conspiracy theory channel.

I didn't ask, but go ahead, lets hear your agenda.. I mean opinion.

Ahha!
So its OK for someone to talk up a TLD, as long as its the TLD your talking up and investing in aye?

Don't forget .com from your list.. after all, it was the biggest bubble ever to burst in history.

Ask them in 15 years if they have heard of .ME
After all, not many people new what a .com was 15 years ago aye.

Umm. because you said so? and you have crystal balls? and your psycho?

Nope.. its appealing, memorable, brandable, domains that make them valuable, regardless of the TLD.
And date.me is more appealing, memorable and brandable than date.com

Sharing my opinion.

Cheers
James

 

Your commentary became worthless when you proved you couldn't read. He said himself he was flipping, thanks, better luck next time.

@hoster: lol, that's what I thought. You haven't got any real argument, and you've been called out. oh no, .com fanboy. Self belief? Yes, and many years observing and participating in the market and lots of research. But of course you probably wouldn't understand that considering you started domain names in what? November 08?

 

>>>I didn't ask, but go ahead, lets hear your agenda.. I mean opinion<<<<
Good post Tattoos

Kohashi is the one using most time of any of us here and he is bashing .me with 5 post a day.
Some peaple are not happy about the huge success .me is having.

It is also truly amazing how fast .Me is growing.

 

For your information, I am in the domain business for longer than you can imagine (guess you were still an embryo when I was researching about domains). Just a few years experience does not guarantee you are a genius dude. I could have said the same thing earlier that I am in the domaining business for so many years. Hell, anyone can say that.

The fact is that .me is gaining momentum and you are still in your own well hole embracing .com as if it is the last thing in the world. Wake up and grow up! Every domain extension has the potential to make it big...its only the dogmatic view of a few like you that force the newbies to follow suit. I hope you are still around when .me is up there competing with .com for a greater share of the market. Then we come back to this thread and see who was right.

 

>>>ME had 14 December 2008 already 274 sites in top 1 Milllion!
.ASIA has 88 in top 1 million.(dot .Asia even launched 3-4 month before .ME did)
.Mobi has 227 in top 1 million.(dot .Mobi even launched 2 years before .ME did!)

New stats 27 December 2008 just 2 weeks gone:
ME has now 341 sites in top 1 Milllion!!!!
.ASIA has now 86 in top 1 million.(dot .Asia even launched 3-4 month before .ME did)
.Mobi has 233 in top 1 million.(dot .Mobi even launched 2 years before .ME did!)<<<<

I have been in the online marketing buissness for 12 years and with huge succes.
Allot of peaple including me are really impressed by .ME growth - i predict by end 2009 .ME will be in the top 3 most valuable: .com . Net .Me
By end 2010 it will be in top 2 .Com .Me .Net
Again the internet is all about you and .ME

 

could not have put it better. Now lets wait for the boring, self belief lecture from kohashi.
:sigh:

 

Really? If you've really been around so long and didn't make a fortune and are stuck with .me you better just call it quits, you failed, miserably. Forcing newbies to follow suit, am I forcing big corporations too? The funniest thing is domainers in general think they have some giant market power over domain names, really, they don't. It wasn't the early investors in .com that flipped and held to make fortunes that built .com, it was the buy-in at every level of the internet from biggest corps to the individual. That isn't happening with .me or any other new extension really. You are still there with the next big thing, again, yawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnn every new tlds has it's screaming mob, it gets tiresome; but someone has to inform people of the past and hopefully prevent others from throwing money down the drain. Hey - if they read my comments and decide to invest anyway, I tried, that's their decision, but at least they heard both sides and had a chance to make a rational decision.

When .me competes up there with .com I will admit I was wrong, but I won't hold my breath. In fact it will make a great case study for how to make a TLD successful. However, I don't see it happening, as I said earlier, the unique circumstances that created the .com juggernaut simply can't be repeated. Speculators kill any new TLD because all the good stuff gets taken and people expect large sums of money when really it's cheaper and more memorable in almost every case to just get a .com variant. It really comes down to big corps and trillions of dollars of advertising that make a TLD. That's right, I said trillions, and I made the number up. But if you want to know the exact amount it may very well be up there, go check the advertising budgets on adage.com over the past 15 years, definitely hundreds of billions of dollars. That is what created .com and branded it into the minds of every consumer across the globe.

 

Hey dude, its up to me to either make a fortune or make miserable pennies. My business, my ways of working, right!

 

If you were starting, yes. If you've been failing since before the first .com existed and you're banking on .me you fail. So either I called your bluff or you are a complete failure, take your pick.

oh no, michael arrington jumped on the .com bandwagon!

 

I am earning thousands and thousands and you do not. lol, someone is jealous

ahh, now I see where your chimp intelligence comes from. The mystery is solved, ladies and gentleman. This dude just sees what a single soul has to say thinks he has learned it all. Guess all his explanations before and after this post is worthless and just copied from somewhere.

 

haha shame i got michael arrington beat by 6 months: http://www.circleid.com/posts/86298_new_tlds_no_change/ but again, good try, another failure.

jealous? I do just fine with domain names, I have no complaints or jealousy.
