    If you look godaddy they moved .ME up to 2 spot just after .com they selling so many .me domains. They sold over 20000 dot me domains just fist day and that was world record they say!

    Here are some sales from current ME auction

    When .me domain names became available in June, many people attempted to register while others missed out because they were unaware of the DOT .ME availability. For those who paid the requisite $99.98 during the registration period and found themselves applying for the same .me domains, an auction opportunity is now available to purchase a wide range of .me domain names.

    "Although the overall number of people allowed to bid on the current landrush auctions is small, the demand is very high

    toyota.me $90,025 110
    insure.me $68,005 278

    I am happy I have invested in many .me domains. I personally love them regardless of future potential values.

    Yes i am also very happy with mine .me names.
    I think .me will just get bigger and bigger.

    Still some good .me names avalible if one search :)

    I think we will see some mega big $ bids when the premium auctions
    starts in september.

    Lucky the .me auction peaple did not find all the super good names
    for premium auction - they oversee allots super good name that just was sold on landrush auction or one could find some great ones and cheap at godaddy

    I was surprised I didn't see google.me up there. I thought for sure that would be going for a lot of money.

    Anyone have any idea of the seo implications of .me?

    I LOVE .ME!
    .ME FOR PRESIDENT!! :p

    However, I only learnt about their value like 3 or 4 days ago-- so whilst I still got a good domain (to me) I wish I had got in a bit earlier. (For domains like MUAYTHAI.ME :( )

    .ME is not just a good domain extension, it's an addiction!
