SHOW THE WORLD HOW UNIQUE YOU CAN BE – WITH .ME
Podgorica, Montenegro - Aug 3, 2010- A captivating online identity is as important in the virtual world as a good personality is when you meet someone face-to-face. No matter what you’re planning to share online — a personal blog, a photo album, your business ideas, or a collection of your favorite social sites – the destination you create needs to be easy for anyone to find. Using your name with a .ME domain can be unique and memorable.

“Passionate bloggers, online entrepreneurs and casual Internet users alike often struggle to find the right domain name,” notes Predrag Lesic, Executive Director of the .ME Registry. “But if you are looking for something that is unmistakably ‘you’, your name can be a great choice for both business and personal use.”

Lesic suggests considering your first name, last name, or your entire name with a .ME domain. You can go to http://www.ExploreTheWorldOf.Me/Promo/Personal for details. On the site, visitors will find a list of registrars offering discounts on registrations of .ME domains.

Michele Neylon, CEO of Blacknight, certainly knows the value of a name attached to a .ME domain. Michele is a well-known online entrepreneur, a leader in all things Internet. He frequently writes his own personal blog at Michele.Me. “I love the simplicity and vibrancy of dot-ME which is why I’ve switched several of my personal and company sites over,” says Michele. “Let’s face it – we all love talking about ourselves so ‘me’ is a magic word.”

“In an industry that is becoming increasingly competitive for getting your website seen and found, no other domain extension manages to encapsulate the needs of the modern day website owner quite like dot-ME does. The extension is so ‘brandable’ and versatile that it allows you to create not only strong and distinctive domains, but also truly unique domains, for personal or business use,” states industry blogger, Adam Brewer.

Some of the most widely viewed and quickly discovered sites tell their stories through a name. For instance, Who.Unfollowed.Me is a Twitter-based application that helps track anyone who has decided not to follow you on Twitter. Because the site is updated in real time, as soon as they pull the plug, you will know. Since the site launched in February 2010, Who.Unfollowed.Me has gained more than 140,000 users and tracked more than 3.5 million “unfollowers.”
