Sales opened for the .me domains today, and so many people crowded GoDaddy.com, many domains were sold to several people at the same time. For example, a half dozen people received confirmation notes that they had successfully registered Hug.me. But alas, GoDaddy started sending out cancellation notices an hour or so later. “Apparently they didn’t realize that after months of pent up demand and publicity for an extremely desirable domain, they’d be seeing an onslaught of prospective buyers,” writes Jason Kincaid, who had one point thought he had successfully registered Hug.me and Watch.me. By the way, a few quick searches reveals that most city names, like Seattle.me, are already taken.
