The .ME Registry officially opened for live, real-time registrations July 17, 2008 and was met with huge international demand. More than 50,000 new me domain names were registered in the first two days, with the first “live” name registered being: yusu.me.
“While English speaking countries led the way in registration volume, many non-English speaking countries such as Germany, China, and France made a strong showing,” said Predrag Lesic, the Me registry’s executive director.
“We believe this bodes well for the international success of .ME as the only domain name that is all about YOU.
.ME is a domain space that offers personalized me domain names for your products and services, or your personal presence on the web, including email, in a more generic way than any other.”

With personalization giants such as Youtube, Facebook and Myspace, the same ideology applies to .me. Now the personalization lies solely in the hands of the creator. No rules or regulations. This will make a great investment towards the future.
