Kolaborate

Oh my, must attend next year! I wish it could be 2008, but due to committed conferences this won’t happen. My curiosity points to the sale of .ME domains, an extension from the country of Montenegro whose just now getting on their feet.

The following domains are up for auction:

Auction has ended for most, see the results.

As you can see, these are quite attractive! Looking into the future, .com will stand on top always yet with the increase in marketing expense directed online, you must not ignore opportunity. It’s all about imagery and brand recognition. Users in the future will click more than they type (type in traffic). With that comes usable names that are associated with an extension. So what the hell are you talking about? I’m talking about advertising a name/slogan such as love.me versus love.com. Get it in the head of the consumer, they’ll type in love.me if (IF) there’s a benefit. That’s the point of advertising and product purchase, a benefit the consumer gets. Case in point, most .com domains are bought and produce a landing page or parking as we call it. There is no real benefit for repeat visits, just the destination that could be any of the various advertising links residing on a parked page. Yes, a benefit if the user gets something out of clicking through, that’s the intention. Well, I’m excited because of my purchase of a variety of .me extensions. The future of real estate has taken a new meaning!

I must learn to reduce the use of “of” in my writing. Bad habit!
