Some of .ME's Most Clever Domain Names Up for Auction
PODGORICA, Montenegro, October 21, 2010 - Starting Nov. 11, 2010, you'll have a chance to Text.Me, Track.Me,
Finance.Me or Friend.Me if you score the winning bid from a long list of
catchy .ME names — all of which make dynamic call-to-action domains. This is
the latest in a series of successful .ME online auctions, hosted by Sedo,
since the top level domain name extension burst onto the international scene
just two years ago.
"Corporations, entrepreneurs and casual users alike are learning the
incredible value of using dot-ME as their domain," states Predrag Lesic,
Executive Director of the .ME Registry (www.domain.me/ ). "If their
product, project, or personal life is worth drawing attention to, they
realize focusing their brand on the 'me' generation is one of the fastest
ways to draw attention in an online world."
"Companies and individuals across the globe are now looking at domain
names as a critical component to the success of their marketing campaigns,"
notes Liesbeth Mack — De Boer, Chief Sales Officer at Sedo.com.
"A memorable and catchy domain name can make a lot of difference in
setting you apart from the crowd," adds Lesic. "In a world oversaturated with
words and images, what better way to get your online ads to rise above the
rest and capture an interested audience."
Recent auctions tell the story of .ME's popularity. Trade.Me recently
sold for more than US$18,000; Click.Me for more than US$17,000; and Map.Me
for close to US$15,000. And, the upcoming SEDO auction will include great
descriptive domains such as:
