The .ME Domain is Available from GoDaddy - Claim Your Name

Joel at FoREM has the scoop regarding the fact that you can now register .ME domain names. Not all registrations today went smoothly — actually, far from it. Apparently, there was a massive load on GoDaddy’s servers today from the “landrush” that resulted in multiple registrations being process for the same domains, but the dust is settling and they are said to have stabilized their servers.
If you want to register your own .ME domain, head to GoDaddy (other domain registration services like Dreamhost and Media Temple don’t work unfortunately).

I wrote a report of my experience with GoDaddy and the .ME fun yesterday at http://LinkMoney.org.
Holy Cow Drew, did you create Zillow? That is absolutely a FANTASTIC website!
I use it for something other than Real Estate though. I publish several websites and Blogs about genealogy and I also lecture to groups and and teach genealogy classes. I have been telling everyone about Zillow for over a year.
It is just great for looking at an ancestor’s homestead from all different angles.
Thanks for it.

POINT IS: GoDaddy wasn’t prepared and a lot of people missed out on good domains; domains they thought they owned. Domains that were taken were still showing as “available” 4 hours later on GoDaddy. Not to mention the refund processing time. It was ridiculous. Anyways, there is a class action lawsuit forming for all those who successfully registered a domain and then a few hours later got an email saying they didn’t get the domain. Email godaddylawsuit@gmail.com with your details and I think they are also looking for legal aid.
