#3"Earlier this year GoDaddy won the rights to distribute domains under the extension .me, which belongs to the country of Montenegro."
Blast! I thought it meant "me" as in "myself" and that it was meant for personal pages and such... I didn't see Montenegro mentionned anywhere, in fact namecheap says .me is for personal pages...
I wondered why the heck I hadn't heard of .me before today, now I know.
So .me is officially for Montenegro but is a new de-facto "standard" for personal pages? Or I've been mostly conned out of 80$ (2 domains)?
edit: I'll still put those domains to good use eventually. One domain for me, one for my company, one for each of my projects. Perfect!

#4I tried registering a domain, and wasn't able to when GoDaddy's servers were being hammered. I'd used GoDaddy for years, but I have to say, I've seen the light, they've lost my service.
Why is it so hard for companies to take my money when I try to hand it to them? They had to have known that the demand was high for these .me domain names. There's no excuse for them to have prepared for this kind of traffic.
Heh, now that I think about it, Apple's iPhone situation is remarkably similar to this one. ;-)

#5I had just bought ping.me from godaddy, i got a successfully bought mail too but after 20 min I get a mail telling me, I can't buy it because it is already registered.
Then i did a quick twitter search and found 2 other people had also bought ping.me . Wondering who will get that domain.

"conned out of" was perhaps too extreme an expression, I should have researched this before rushing to register those domains.

I don't really see a difference. No one seems to mind that ".tv" stands for Tuvalu and not Television.
