Comments on: GoDaddy .me domain debacle http://iusedtobecooler.com/godaddy-me-domain-debacle/ It's hard to believe, but I used to be cooler Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:35:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Kolb http://iusedtobecooler.com/godaddy-me-domain-debacle/#comment-11 Mark Kolb Sat, 19 Jul 2008 12:00:07 +0000 http://www.iusedtobecooler.com/?p=10#comment-11 Many thanks go to domainmonster.com - I was able to grab 95% of my picks within minutes of the opening. With the refund for the few that I didn't get, I got my secondary picks and then even went for more.

DomainMonster absolutely knew what was available and what wasn't. They had it nailed down - and their customers scored big time.

I also owned the.me for awhile, but when I got the rejection letter I looked into it more closely and discovered that the.me was registered over a month ago during the trademark sunrise period. You'd think that godaddy would know that and not charge you (my card was charged). I ran into *exactly* the same issue.

Waiting for open registration stage to get one is too late... especially for short proper words... And what's the obsession with "aweso.me"?
