As announced at Mike Berkens’s blog, the sales price of Meet.me wasn’t a surprise; what’s surprising is that a so-called “domain hack” wasn’t picked up from the Montenegrin registry at a higher price.
Domain hacks are combinations of keyword+TLD to form a word or even a phrase.
Some are obvious: Love.me, Fuck.it
Others require more creativity: Blo.gs, Doma.in, Poe.ms
Some others have a meaning in another language: Agapa.me (love me in Greek.)
Lastly, there are some that are outright confusing: Bit.ly
The $450k sale of Meet.me is revenge day for those that support the usefulness and value of domain hacks.
