.ME was just added as a toplevel domain name, direct from Montenegro for the price of $20 dollars a year.  This, not without some problems.  Thunderdo.me, Threeso.me, and even Peanutbutterjellyti.me are all taken!  Almost every obscure word that ends in ME.  I wanted Morphe.me for irony’s sake.

I wonder what web 2.0 companies will rise out of this.  Web 2.0 companies seem to naturally follow chic domain names.  It’s hard to imagine visiting delicious.com versus del.icio.us for bookmark sharing. (although del.icio.us now seems to own delicio.us and delicious.com)
