At one point, I even used a Scrabble tool to find suggestions of things ending with .me. With the exception of ramsey.me, each domain name I tried was taken. [sigh], so much for making it rich with a clever domain name. In hindsight, when the .mobi extension was released — everyone (and I do mean everyone) thought it was going to be the HOT domain to have. Fast forward to present day and now the .mobi address is almost never used. More so, even a geek like me can’t name but one or two .mobi domains from memory. Inevitably what happened is most companies are using sub-domains to accommodate for mobile visitors (e.g. http://m.facebook.com, http://m.cnn.com, http://mobile.espn.com).

All that said — competition still remains “hot” for domain names. On my way to work it’s practically religious ritual that I listen to NPR on my 20-minute commute (music doesn’t go well with me early in the morning). Last month there was a great segment regarding, “Though the economy may be in decline, the market for Web site domain names is on the rise.” It’s an interesting report, and you can listen to it here.
