Me.Me Acquired By Yahoo
Great news for marketing folks that understand the value of the .ME brand, as is being reported on a few other domain blogs such as TheDomains.com and ElliotsBlog.com Yahoo has acquired me.me from the .ME registry. Sedo brokered the transaction between the two entities.
This is great news for the .ME extension as it shows continued awareness by major internet companies of the extension and its potential for branding and memorability.
Other major companies that began using .ME in various ways are Facebook with FB.me and Wordpress with WP.me.
I want to extend a big congrats to Natasa and Predrag from the .ME team, I know how hard they work to promote their brand and love to see when great things happen to good people.
i dont think yahoo cared that it was the .me extension. they probably just thought it is a perfect domain hack for the popular word Meme. . i wouldnt count on them investing in other .me domains.
Only domainers care about how many domains they buy, it does not matter how many they buy. They bought it because of the great branding they can do with it. If anyone says that it is a failure because Yahoo doesnt buy more they are missing the point.
Great news for the people over at .Me. Thanks for sharing!
The .Me domains are underrated but they don’t seem to pop up as much as one would think. … they have been bought up but have yet to break the .com barrier …
