DOTME Domains Surpasses Everybodys Expectations in Domain Growth

haha, no effect. Hope you passed the human "copyscape"

 

Run out of arguments? Game over.

 

interesant

 

each time i want to regist a domain name, I find it already registered. I regret that why I did not think it earlier. Always late!

 

Oh okay, now I see... your talking down new TLDs just to save people from "throwing money down the drain".
Very noble of you. I appreciate your honest opinion, even though I think it may be a bit narrow minded.

lol. Talk about giving something a chance.
.COM has been around 15+ years... .ME has been around for just 6 months, and because it is not a household name yet, this guy (michael arrington) say's "its failed to deliver"
Come on man. you don't buy in to that do ya?
(well you quoted it, so maybe you do)

Are you saying that .COMs are cheaper than other TLDs in almost every case?

I thought this was meant to be a discussion, not an argument.
After all, you cant argue why something will or won't become successful in the future, you can only discuss why you think it will or wont. (unless you have that pair of crystal balls mentioned earlier )

Couldn't have said it better myself.

dude, what do you mean by game over. You copy and paste here in support of your own beliefs and call yourself a experienced and learned person. All your explanations hold no water...go on...spew your verbal stink on this thread.

 

>>>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 <<<<

I just see .Me just jumped 200.000 more .ME pages in google
3,460,000. .Me web pages is now in google and is going up 150.000 -200.000 every 4-5 days!!!!!!!

Fantastic growth:

Interesting there is also allot .me sites from Asia.

It truly is becoming a world wide popular domain

 

Well at least we made some progress, I can live with that.

Maybe it's too short for .me, but he's talking about all new extensions and obviously he believes .me is going to be just like the rest. Also, if you didn't know Michael Arrington came form the domain business, he used to be the CEO of Pool.com. He's not just a tech evangelist, he at least knows his business somewhat; although I can't say I agree with him most of the time.

The key was variant. Instead of buying Cars.me a big corp would get CheapCars.com, LuxuryCars.com, NewCars.com, etc.

Argument - # A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate.

The world isn't some entirely random place, you can predict things, we do all the time. I predict the sun will rise, I predict it will rain, just because you don't agree with this one doesn't mean it's voodoo. Just because they haven't yet doesn't mean we can't see them coming. History teaches us a lot, for someone who has seen it time and time again (this really has brought no unique arguments for or any persuasive form of exceptionalism for .me compared to past suitors for the next big thing)

You're like a missionary trying to convert the masses to something nobody really believes in and isn't true. My explanations hold no water because you operate on blind faith and logic and reason have no effect. So you all you have left is to deflect and go personal and ignore the actual debate.

If you don't like .ME fine but then move on.

We are many experts that are super happy how things are going for .me
and this is what this topic is about.

Your no good reason bashing is simply getting out of control.

Point taken..

I never said it was voodoo, and I agree with your prediction that the sun will rise. (If it doesn't.. TLD's will be the last thing on our minds)
I also agree with your prediction that it will rain. But when will it rain? and when will it stop?
I do know what you are trying to say, and yes! some things (like the sun coming up tomorrow) can be predictable. But some things are harder to predict.

Calling .ME a failure or a pump and dump TLD, after just 6 months seems to me to be absurd and very narrow minded.

Nobody said it was going to replace .COM. it just a great alternative to it.. and given time, may turn out to be just as easy to brand.

No unique arguments, but it is a unique TLD... If .ME had been released in the past and failed, then re-released.. you would be able to predict with some degree of accuracy, its success or failure the second time round.. But it hasn't.
Comparing .ME to .TV, .MOBI, .WS, .US, .ORG, .NET .INFO and .COM, is silly. It cannot be done. It can only be judged on its own potential. And I believe that given time, .ME has more branding potential than any previously released TLD (excluding .COM).

I have a few .ME's. and I did not buy them to pump and dump them, I bought them because I believe they have great potential.
And if I am wrong! So be it.. the majority of my .ME's I got for reg fee, if they are not worth reg fee when it comes time to sell them, then the $20 per year I spent on each domain, ain't going to bother me.

But in ten years time, domains I own like wrestle.me, I truly think will have been worth the investment.
When I see domains like denied.com sell at auction for 180k, and I go and buy denied.me for reg fee, then I also believe that in ten years time it will prove to be a good investment. After all, denied.me rolls of the tongue a lot easier than denied.com, and it actually means something.

Like I said earlier, each to there own.
I like hearing other peoples opinions about things, because it can help me to form my own.
But so far your opinion has not persuaded me to change mine.

Sharing my opinion

That's fine, good luck. The uniqueness/more brandable is the same argument used for brandable domains in any category. Every domain name is unique, that is why the system works, the whole notion of potential is a misguided one in my opinion. Every domain has *potential*, some just have inherent value (namely .com with traffic -- traffic being the value, then there are a few other things like the power of a REALLY good .com that instills confidence instantly. ex Diamonds.com). Any domain could be the next big thing, but it isn't the domain in almost every case that makes it so, it's the development and work put behind it. So, if there are a few successful .ME sites, it's not because they are .me, it's the hard work and effort put in.
