The dot-me Fever Continues...

*
But I'm still keeping a fairly level head; I'm currently in auction for one domain and have regged two more:

Snark.me (now on a blog)

Literary.me (not a clue where to go with this one--maybe it will sink into Sedo hell with Literary.name and Literary.cc.)

But this will be it for me.

"Snark" isn't a super performing keyword, but I just couldn't resist it, and I'm having a good time developing Snark.me. Will it make money?

Doubtful--the story of my life. I love developing sites that have little commercial value.

But I AM puzzled at some of auction prices that some .me domains have been bringing.

Toyota.me = realized $90,000+ (Good luck with that TM nightmare, Georg Kohler of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Did you make a killing in the gemstone biz and have $90,000 in cash just laying around? Are you a Toyota dealership who has plans for it? Even so, will Toyota WIPO it? Unless you are Toyota, expect to lose your investment...)

Insure.me (still in auction)= 50,000+

What are these people thinking? Do they know something the rest of us don't know? Or is this simply speculation by a few rich domainers?

I just hope that shill bidding isn't going on--in my opinion, that would be the kiss of death for this TLD (at least in terms of commercial value).

I have been hanging out at Namepros; they have a few dot-me threads going. No matter what happens, this TLD is sure creating buzz.

As I said last post, within a year or so, domainers will have a better idea how .me will fare.
