So much have been written and press-released about these Montenegro domains yet nobody really realizes the great marketing possibilities of these .me domains. Since the Montenegrins have decided that they would allow anybody to register these dot me domains, this could be a world of possibilities for those who can actually register good domain hacks. The significance is great recall marketability and personalization.
In this light, lets run down some few .me domains people would be dying to get because of a presumed intrinsic value. Take note that I’m going to base my presumption on the biggest business industries in the world and assuming they would be interested in landing some of these .me domains for marketing purposes. Lets start with the good ones first.
Buy.me – this is a gimme for almost anybody. There’s no other word in the retail industry that could be more blunt, more generic and more useful than this one. It has the universal appeal to almost every business. Don’t get your hopes up high for this one. Godaddy’s definitely auctioning this!
Trade.me – this is the second word I can think of when it comes to the retail industry. It may not have the “oomph” as buy.me but it’ll be nice for a stock trading business and some other places applicable.
Fuck.me – Ok I was afraid I was going to have to mention this one but I just can’t resist the temptation. According to Forbes.com, the *pron industry is a 10 to 14 Billion dollar industry. This is based on a legit Forrester Research. There’s a lot of *pron bosses out there who’d love to get their hands on this. Like a New York Times Magazine headlined once, “There’s No Business like *Pron Business!”
Fly.me – No need to explain too much on this. I’ve mentioned this in my previous post and it will definitely be auctioned off by Godaddy. The airline business has experienced heavy losses in this decade and have just recently been on the upside again. What a perfect marketing tool this domain would be for anybody who could land this domain. This one I expect to auction for millions.
Call.me – I don’t know about this. It may have an appeal to those in the telecommunications industry but I’m not sure how they are going to react on this one. Still, this one’s a good buy even just for it’s marketing worth. Making a brief search on Google, nobody seems to have a trademark on it.
Blog.me – Blogs have been one of the biggest marketing tool in recent times. a lot of advertisers have used pay-per-post campaign’s to get their word out. For its good appeal, I think this is a good buy as well.
Hire.me – This one also has a universal appeal. Good for people or businesses in the services industry. Using the U.S. Trademark Electronic Search System, it doesn’t seem that anybody has a trademark on the word hire yet.
Drink.me – The beverage industry has been one of the most resilient of recent times. This domain can cover a lot of ground from sodas, coffee, alcohol and health drinks.
Deliver.me – Shipping and Transportation are also big businesses. If somebody buys this one for decent money, I think it will definitely turn into big profit eventually.
Eat.me – I almost forgot this one. The food industry is also a huge one. One of the biggest if I’m not mistaken. Imagine a food package delivered to you with a logo that says Eat.me… Pretty useful marketing again.
Some pretty funny .me domains you may wanna think about:
do.me
blow.me
iknowyouknowyouwannado.me ( honestly, somebody actually suggested this one to me)
Enough of the sex stuff… I just ran out of ideas. Feel free to leave a comment if you think of anything good, funny or interesting .me domains. Dot me domains’ open registration is scheduled July 17, 2008.

Date.me sounds awesome!
I wonder what kind of domain hack would be a good one for social networking?
You just have to look at where people are making money and think about what they do to find a good hack.
Thanks Aaron!
