    Its interesting that none of the domains are verbs. Verb domains like call.me – ask.me – rate.me – help.me, would definitely be a bit more interesting than these “premium” domains they´ve put up. Just my opinion.

  3. MHB says

    the whole list is not published anywhere right now

    I think we are the only place that has the teaser list as well

  7. CMT.Me says

    We’re going to turn CMT dot Me into a social network for Certified Massage Therapists (CMT’s). Anyone know of a cheap platform to kick it off?

  11. .ME Of Course! says

    Not bad. Last year the registry fetch some $400k+ for 150 names.

    Let us see how well they perform this year.

    To me, these combinations sound so much better:

    MyAmerica.Me
    MyBike.Me
    Cab4.Me / CabFor.Me
    Camera4.Me / Cameras4.Me / MyCamera.Me
    GolfGear4.Me
    Job4.Me / Jobs4.Me
    Lottery4.Me
    Mobile4.Me / Mobiles4.Me
    Name4.Me / Namely.Me
    Phone4.Me / Phones4.Me
    Vodka4.Me / VodkaFor.Me / Vodka-For.Me / MyVodka.Me
    MyWealth.Me
    HealthyAndWealthy.Me / Healthy-and-Wealthy.Me
    Unwired.Me
    WIFI4.Me
    VOIP4.Me

    @.ME Of Course

    I think the initial belief by many domainers was that only the hack type domains would be viable in .ME. The extension has moved much farther past that stage and that’s no longer the case. Straight keyword domain names will be much more valuable as .ME is emerging and arriving on the Internet scene as a top tier extension. The move by WordPress to include it as the only addition to the original 3 gTLDs as an option further cements that. I expect prices for top keywords in .ME to soon challenge or exceed those of all extensions other than .com. Let’s see how this auction goes but I expect it will be quite successful.

  13. .ME Of Course! says

    Of course. I subscribe to this development too.

    The point I tried to make was about the soundness.

    Which one would you rather see as a brand of your site: names.me or namely.me?

  14. .ME Of Course! says

    Complete list of 177 names:

    222.me, 444.me, 555.me, 777.me, 800.me, 888.me, account.me, accountant.me, accounting.me, air.me, america.me, american.me, ant.me, apartments.me, arab.me, asian.me, astrology.me, bargain.me, baseball.me, basketball.me, beaver.me, beef.me, bike.me, bogota.me, brisbane.me, cab.me, calls.me, cam.me, camera.me, celeb.me, celebrity.me, cellphones.me, chatrooms.me, cheerleaders.me, chicago.me, chinese.me, christmas.me, commerce.me, communication.me, company.me, computer.me, computers.me, concert.me, concerttickets.me, culture.me, datarecovery.me, deal.me, debt.me, democracy.me, dental.me, dentist.me, desktop.me, diamond.me, dsl.me, ecard.me, ecards.me, economy.me, exam.me, exams.me, fail.me, faith.me, fall.me, fares.me, first.me, fitness.me, flashgames.me, florist.me, flowers.me, football.me, forclosures.me, goddess.me, golf.me, golfcourses.me, greencard.me, head.me, healthcare.me, healthinsurance.me, heart.me, houses.me, housing.me, inc.me, innovations.me, jewelry.me, job.me, jobsearch.me, jokes.me, karaoke.me, lab.me, lamps.me, lifeinsurance.me, locals.me, london.me, looks.me, losangeles.me, lottery.me, malta.me, mangas.me, medication.me, medicine.me, meds.me, melbourne.me, movers.me, musicdownload.me, musicvideo.me, names.me, nets.me, notebooks.me, oil.me, onlinedating.me, pacific.me, paraguay.me, pharmacy.me, phones.me, pix.me, police.me, portal.me, pos.me, pottery.me, professor.me, programmer.me, prom.me, property.me, pvc.me, races.me, rail.me, rap.me, realestate.me, realty.me, refinancing.me, result.me, reviews.me, rio.me, romance.me, rugby.me, sap.me, scanner.me, scientist.me, scores.me, seniors.me, server.me, services.me, shoes.me, singapore.me, spamfilter.me, spring.me, state.me, steel.me, stuff.me, sydney.me, table.me, tablet.me, tax.me, taxi.me, tool.me, tools.me, top.me, tourism.me, tourist.me, trees.me, truck.me, trucks.me, tunes.me, unitedkingdom.me, vans.me, vegan.me, venturecapital.me, vip.me, vitamins.me, vodka.me, war.me, washingmachine.me, washington.me, way.me, wealth.me, wireless.me, yearbook.me, and zimbabwe.me

  15. Content.me says

    Frankly, I prefer names.me. It’s more versatile. Sure, you might find someone interested in namely.me for a particular project, but names.me could be used for a contact management site, perhaps by a business name consultant, maybe a baby names website (those books are quite popular), the list could go on and on.

  18. Joe says

    Some really great keywords in there. Similarly, CoInternet is holding an auction for 100 domains that didn’t complete the landrush auctions.

  28. Samit Madan says

    Some top 50 keywords in that lot, would be interesting to see what sells and for how much.

    Should be a nice benchmark for realistic .me pricing.

    At least reseller levels.

  29. Tomas says

    @Samit Madan – You talk about top 50 keywords. Could you share your source of those top 50 keywords? Lately ive realised that many of the most searched for keywords are quite different from what you would expect.

  32. Wacko says

    Some good .mes ending on Bido today. I like interesting.me, selfdrive.me and Domainer.me the best. Domainer.me is at $700 already and has many bids but a high reserve.

    The list for the sedo auction is quite impressive. .Me has this certain thing about it which makes many names – especially verbs very catchy and brandable. I personally really like .me a lot and feel this extension would definitely get more popular with time. Recent huge .me sales include watch.me and a couple more I don’t recall at the moment.

  33. .ME Of Course! says

    @Wacko

    Recent sales were as:

    * Business.Me went for 40k euro
    * Watch.Me went for 20k euro
    * Sponsor.Me went for 25k euro

    Indeed, some good names are listed:

    * taxadvice.me
    * ibook.me
    * iblog.me
    * keyboard.me
    * cheaphotel.me
    * knows.me
    * cure4.me
    * tagged.me
    * donating.me
    * interesting.me
    * follows.me
    * classy.me
    * callback.me

    Marc

    I will bite

    Personally I don’t love .me used for anything but verbs or names.

    I would say $5K or less

  37. Marc says

    MHB, The $5000 guess is way low. I’ll let a few more take a shot and then I’ll reveal the price. I probably overpaid. Had to have it.

  38. .ME Of Course! says

    @Marc, “energy” would not be cheap on the secondary market. About 40k would be right. Especially considering the recent sales of “business”, “watch”, and “sponsor” dot me.

    You have a nice name. Try to make sure you also have MyEnergy.Me

  39. Content.me says

    @Marc,

    Energy.me, an amazing name.

    As for value, for a motivated end-user the sky’s the limit for a name like that. You really can’t overpay particularly if you have a development plan for the name as you do. I looked at your site and it’s a perfect fit for what you’re trying to accomplish. Best of luck.
