Montenegro (.me) domains went on sale at 8am Pacific this morning. A frenzied domain land rush is likely being tempered by domain pricing - $19.95/year with a two-year minimum.
At 10 am I was still able to find a few I wanted to register for future use:
- pleasehelp.me
- remote.me
- open.me
UPDATE: Well, it turns out that no, I did not get any domains. While the process I went through told me that I did, the domains did not register. The email address that I had on file with GoDaddy isn’t one I check on a regular basis, so it wasn’t until this afternoon that I realized that I did not get any .me domains either.
Anyone out there pick up any interesting .me domains?
It’s been a busy week, and I probably would have missed out on the opportunity had it not been for Jason Baer’s digital marketing blog. Thanks Jason!

Thanks for the shout out. Unfortunately, my experience with the .me land rush was nothing short of a fiasco. I’ve updated my original post with my findings. There are whispers of a class action suit already on Twitter. Wow, that’s BAD customer service!

Maybe it was fortunate I wasn’t in front of a browser until 10am! I hit Summize and saw some of the chatter you were talking about… Brutal!

I spoke too soon. I didn’t get the domains I thought I did, but didn’t realize it because while the order went through on the GoDaddy web site, I didn’t check the email account which I have on file with GoDaddy (where I received several emails which informed me that the registration did not go through).
