The site is incredibly slow. I can only assume a lot of people want .me domains...

Terribly slow. I've been waiting for 10 minutes for the payment page to appear...

It took mine about 20-25 minutes to process. Now theoretically the owner of jem.me though.

Anyone registering these other than godaddy?

Namecheap seem to be offering them too.

I also got me a nice domain, and even though they've taken the money, the domain is not showing up in my domain list. Hope dies last, ey?!

Hmm, to get one of these, or to wait until they open up the TLDs?

To find words that end in "me," try: egrep "^.{3,3}me$" /usr/share/dict/words The 3,3 means 3 characters minimum (anything less is invalid) and 3 maximum. So increase that second number to get more words.

Removing the second 3 gives more interesting words. Symdro.me, mada.me, quickli.me. (Could me made into quickly.me)

I got 10 - 3 letter domains and 4 - 4 letter ones. Got the email confirmation, but not in the control panel yet

It took about 2 hours for my confirmation email to come through.

Any word on which registrar "tasted" pretty much all .me domains? WHOIS info isn't up yet.

I received confirmation letters, but have now just received a letter saying:

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

PRI.ME

Error: PRI.ME: cannot register - already registered

We will evaluate this error and retry the registration if appropriate.

CURSES!

Hopefully it goes through. Same thing happened to me, only instead of a confirmation email I got an email saying the domain was actually already taken. curses.
