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)

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.

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?!

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

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.

Looks like all 5 of mine failed, even though they charged my credit card. Just got the "we're sorry but the domain failed to process" emails. Thanks godaddy!

Maybe they registered those for themselves...

considering one was aweso.me, maybe

Got CLUTTER.ME, I'm happy :)

Also got another 11 three-letters, and one four-letter. Looks like the frenzy has died down by now, godaddy is slow but all my domains processed right away.

One annoying thing is godaddy stopped accepting coupons for .me domains halfway through... so I didn't get any discounts for the last few. Ah well.

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

yeah out of those only 1 went through.

After that I tried like 6 times to register, and out of like 70 domains I "got" only 5 went through. I did get a hold placed on my credit card because of suspicious activity because of this.

I was looking for football-related names and saw that this site is already live. Not what I expected though: http://www.tackle.me/

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

Cool... I got SCHE.ME

Hopefully it actually went through!

Nooooo.....

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

SCHE.ME

Error: SCHE.ME: cannot register - already registered

I think GoDaddy is sending those out for every domain...

I even got it for a really random/unpopular one.

Maybe they took the first day's worth of submissions and registered them for themselves?

Just got a 2nd confirmation that mine are gone.

I just got emails for all the domains I tried to register claiming they are taken.

I really doubt they are - is everyone getting this?

Anyone registering these other than godaddy?

A friend suggested Dynadot. They accept Paypal, which makes it easier to not bother my parents (I'm 15-years-old).

Holy cow, THANK you for the suggestion. Godaddy was taking upwards of 10 minutes to load a single page!

Just bought one from Dynadot. Seems to have worked fine.

Namecheap seem to be offering them too.

Darn, "help.me" is already taken. Should have read Hacker News before I went to bed last night!

Checking feed.me

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

Has anyone ever made much money selling on domain names? (edit: anyone here, I mean)

8am PST...

who got sche.me ?
