As recently posted on Namepros, Google is now allowing .ME domain holders to geo-target like any standard TLD, as opposed to treating like a cctld. Prior to this change, holders of ME domains were unable to switch their geo-target from “Montenegro,” the country which applied for and won the cctld several years ago.

URL shorteners are nothing new, Tiny URL has been around for 100 years, but WP.me is different in a few ways:- WP.me is the only two-letter .me domain in the world.
- Every blog and post on WordPress.com has a WP.me URL now.
- These are all exposed in the <head> using rel=shortlink.
- It doesn’t work for any URL in the world, just WP.com-hosted ones.
- The links are permanent, they will work as long as WordPress.com is around.
- WP.me is spam-free, because we are constantly monitoring and removing spam from WP.com.

.ME made it to the list of the top 10 most popular ccTLDs (country-code top level domains) sold by SEDO (Search Engine for Domain Offers). Thus, in fact, .me is placed right at the level of top European countries like the Netherlands and Austria, slightly below Spain, but well above France. It is good to see .me matching .tv, another exotic country with a success story to tell. In addition, .me scores better at least on two more points: it is not sinking and stands good prospects to join .EU one day.
