Will You Invest in .ME?
There’s a new domain extension in town! Yes, the extension .ME has arrived recently. New extensions don’t usually excite me, since I’m mostly a .com kind of domain purchaser. And, I’ve only experimented with .net, .tv, .info, and .biz before. I generally avoid purchasing alternative domain extensions. However, today, I’ve decided to give .ME a…
