I’m not a fan of any ccTLD’s, nor do I like extensions as common as .net or .info. I’m for the most part a .com guy. The one extension that I have expressed a minimal amount of interest in is the .me extension. I think the .me extension is great for people looking to create their own, personal website. My reason being that .me’s generally don’t rank well in Google’s U.S. or U.K. listings. In fact, the only place they do tend to rank well is in Google.me.

After logging into Facebook, I saw a link posted by a friend of mine leading to a website with a .me extension. She isn’t in the domaining industry, and it’s not everyday that I see someone outside the domaining industry surfing websites that aren’t based on a gTLD. Being curious as I was, I decided to click on the link. The link led me to her profile on FormSpring.me. The website had an interesting concept, but that is besides the point.

The thought that somebody not in the domaining industry could’ve found a website on a ccTLD was still bothering me because I just couldn’t imagine it to be possible. This is when I decided to check out the website’s Compete rankings. The website was formed in November of 2009, and over the few months of its operation, it has grown to have approximately 2,000,000 visitors in a single month.

This is a website that is clearly seeing success with the .me extension and is making great use of it. I’m also shocked to see such a rapid growth in a website as simple as FormSpring.me. Feel free to submit your comments on the FormSpring.me website or (preferrably) the .me extension.
