Bob Parsons, the maverick pioneer in the domain industry and the founder of Go Daddy, just set up his blog to BobParsons.Me. In his video blog, he touts ME as one of the top domain stories of 2008.
Go Daddy has nearly 30% share of the worlds domain market and it consistently wins awards for its high-level of customer service.
When the Go Daddy servers experienced glitches during the DOTME land rush do to the record demand of ME domains, representatives went into emergency mode and helped to register customers’ requests over the phone.
Go Daddy is one of the most creative tech companies on the web, and its Super Bowl commercials always win over many fans because of their humor and sometimes sexy content.
Bob Parson, a forward-thinking entrepreneur, has his own blog at BobParsons.me.
I like he changed it from .Com to DotMe.
DotMe is the future friends:hattip:Well, that’s hardly an unbiased viewpoint – they have a lot more inventory of .ME than .COM, that’s for sure!
ME Domain Names Had World Record Growth in 2008, Reports Sphereques
2009-01-15 14:02:50 – With the startup sales of the DotMe domain extension setting Internet world records, as the fastest ever selling new domain extension, .ME domains certainly seem to be taking the Internet by storm.

Leading and innovatives companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Google and Deutsche Telekom, have already registered the popular DotMe extension.
Stats 15 January 2009 from Alexa.com’s top 1 million websites amazingly shows:

I have to say… Godaddy was very very smart to provide a turnkey solution for affiliates back in 2000 or so.
On my opinion, that is what pushed them to the top. While network solutions was selling a domain for $30, I could resell it for $15 or so. Now you apply that chance to 1000s of webmasters… boom you are number 1.
I used their full-server services for few servers back in (2004) but didn’t like at all. We got one server hacked in 2 months or so and I just heard a “not our problem. Good luck” right the way. Luckily for us their were not the only one in the market and we did have external backup of all clients.
Again, not to say .ME domains don’t have merit, but you’re quoting a press release submitted to a press release service from a source with a monetary interest in the subject.
