Today is the official public launch for the .ME TLD (top level domain).  It's like a .com but it's a .me - dig?  If you have a fairly popular name such as Chuck Reynolds, then I suggest you get out and secure your name before the next guy/girl.

I can't say enough about how important personal branding is these days, and I do blabber about it all the time, so secure your name and your kid's names because the internet isn't going anywhere and managing your reputation online starts with owning your personal brand.

Most registrars should have active registration for .ME today.  I personally always use NameCheap for all my domains but if you are like the rest of the sheep you can use the other guys.

So what domain.ME did you buy today?  I got ChuckReynolds.me (which for now I'm just forwarding to my .us name) - couldn't get Geno.me though… doh
