    After reading lots of articles on .ME I have some doughts.
    I bought 2 domains moneycontrol.me and singlesnet.me

    What you think? its worth $80? Becoz I read its just for SEO purpose?
    What you think? its worth or not. post your views about it.

    there is a limited number of names that would be worthwhile in .me, but these are not among them :\

    .me is a matter of opinion and the value is how much other people are willing to pay. i think the single words (eat.me) or LLL (xyz.me) even LLLL domains have value. word combinations if witty (supersize.me) but in general i would not buy word combos. the more it makes sense, the more value. i don't like hacks like handso.me since it can cause confusion for the end users where to put the dot.

    Right now it's not so good, you won't get any type-ins because normal users don't know anything about this TLD.

    Ppl just know ablut .com, .net, .org, etc..
    perhaps in some years this will change, but right now I think .me won't work

    If it is a premium name, then sure, but it is off the wall or not so common, then no.

    To be frank, those names are pretty bad considering there must be a huge abundence of many better names since it is a brand spanking new tld. I wouldn't touch a .me but if I had to it would only be a top one word hack that really means something.

    .me is a nice TLD... its better than most of the lame ones that have no credits or no trendy'ness... ..the .me works on one word domains fairly well... however, your .me domains that you purchased aren't worth anything beyond reg fee... maybe even less... IDK if you'd be able to find that many peeps willing to purchase those domains from you... maybe stick with the .com's... or if you understand trends then grab a .me that has potential in itself for SEO and marketability and not merely based on a phrase that'll work better in the .com's anyways..
