About a week ago, there was an announcement that there would be an auction in NYC, called the T.R.A.F.F.I.C auction, auctioning off the rights to a few “.me” domains. Right now, most domains end in .com, .org., or .edu.

I didn’t think that having .me at the end of a URL would fetch so much money at an auction. However, there have been a lot of clever URL names incorporating .me. Take a look after the jump to see which domains sold for the highest at the auction.

Hate your dot com you were forced into taking? Have your e-mails to yourname.com gone unanswered, clearly showing they’ve no intention of closing up shop, even if all they do is put up stupid vacation photos? Yeah, me too. But there is hope for us domain-challenged individuals: an auction on Thursday.

The .me sensationThe Internet powers recently released .me domains and the fanciest (deemed by someone, I suppose) are up for auction in NYC this Thursday. This is the first ever .me public auction! Over 100,000 .me domains have already been registered, but on Thursday, you can get in on the action.
