Have you bought .me?

As you maybe know yesterday GoDaddy.com started selling .me domains on first come first served base...

As you can read on mashable.com http://mashable.com/2008/07/17/godaddy-offers-me-domain-names-it%E2%80%99s-a-big-fail-so-far/

"Since then, chaos has ensued, as apparently purchases are either not going through, or going through but the domain name remains available for others to buy. As an illustration of the problem this creates, according to the Twitter message below, at least 8 or 9 people are claiming to have receipts for the domain name aweso.me"

Also, I tried to register too yesterday, I knew about this for 4 months... I was planning to get my "dream" domain, though the site was extremely overladen. I started registering when the countdown stopped, and I was very happy when I saw that my domain was still available. It took me a bit more than 40 mins to checkout, because as I wrote before, the site was extremely slow.

I was more than happy when I got the receipt about I bought the domain, I checked and saw that they charged my card, I got an e-mail too about my order is done and I even printed the receipt.

Shortly after that I tried to register the same domain again...and I was a bit shocked, because it was still available. I thought maybe the updating system is slow or something. After some minutes I was thinking to buy some hosting for the domain, but then suddenly realized that I don't see it in my domain list. Also the domain was available even 1 hour after I got my receipt about I bought it. So, I contacted them and now I (they) think I would be very happy if they give my money back, because I'm sure the domain will be someone others :(

As you know .me is a good extension for almost all english verbs, like its.me, call.me, visit.me, drive.me, f*ck.me etc, etc. Domains like these are extremely valuable (five, six, seven-figure numbers) even without content too...

So, I wanna ask...did anyone of you succeed in registering a good .me domain yesterday? (Price: $39.98 for 2 years)

congratz:)
all good domain-names will be taken now anyways :<
Well, I checked around 4000 english verbs, and all usable are taken.
Even the slang ones like gim.me, lem.me, ene.me etc.
Maybe you can find some good with "-ing" in the end, like "calling.me", but those start from 3 characters because of "ing" and aren't that good.

ye but the "chaos" you was talkin about / your situation doesnt wanna make me waste 40€s :p

Do you remember the DNS problem crossfire had? It took two days until everybody managed to enter the site. Thats because the domain names don't travel instantly between servers. So if the server that manages the .me domain registers your name doesn't mean that it will be instantly available on the other domain name servers.

i ordered rape.me but i guess it will be denied
mini.me ?
»» We are sorry but the domain name Spank.me is currently taken.
Update: If you want to have a good emo site, "crywith.me" is still available :)
All good domains are "premium" that cost quite a lot, you could buy them during "sunrise" period or whatever.
Well, in the first period only companies could register and after that still lot's of good domain were available. In the second period, private registrations could be done too, but in case of duplicate orders the outcome was decided with auction. This last period (started yesterday) was the third one, with first come first serve, but in the beginning still a lot of premium domains were available.

For example drive.me was still available after the first period.
But it wasn't available in the third period, so somebody got it with auction.

But another example: thats.me was available yesterday and I think that's premium, also news4.me and many other good domains were still available...that aweso.me is a good example too, people just did not want it in the previous periods...
