    The extension worked well for me.
    Launched many apps with the extension and had a nice exit. And a few crashes. (which is about right for startups: a couple failures, and a winner or 2)

    Sold premium .me domains (between 2008-early 2015) to many end users (mostly seed funded or Series A funded startups in Silicon Valley and Europe)

    Pretty sure the GTLDs cut into market share of the .me extension, as an alternative to .com.

    The people who run the .ME registry are hardworking and very professional. This is a big deal in Montenego, and they seem focused on long term success as opposed to short-term gains. (At least I believe)

    Congrats to the .ME team/registry for reaching the Million!
