Enough with the Chocolate. This Valentine’s Day, Give Me a .ME!

Roses are red. Violets are blue. This Valentine’s Day, please be original and give me a personalized .Me domain instead of flowers that will soon be dead and chocolate that will soon be eaten (though I appreciate it very much!)

So maybe I should reconsider writing Valentine’s Day greeting cards for a living. However, the point remains: there are only SO many times your significant other, or better yet, potential significant other can receive a generic card, flower or chocolate and pretend to be impressed.

Having that in mind, the .ME Registry has partnered with Montenegro’s leading registrar – ME-net – to bring you (AND your special someone) the best, most affordable, tech-forward and personal gift you can think of: a .me domain name for just $9.99! A bargain, you’ll agree.

By purchasing a personal .me domain name by going to TheGiftOf.me, you’ll be giving your Valentine their very own piece of Internet real estate, that can last FOREVER. You know what else can last forever? Diamonds. You know how much those cost? Lots. You don’t currently have Lots on your bank account, but can indeed spare $9.99 for the perfect present? We thought so.

BONUS: Did We Mention Our #MyCheesyValentine Twitter Contest?

As a special bonus, we’ll be running a Twitter contest for the three weeks preceding Valentine’s Day: on Jan. 30, Feb. 6 and Feb 13. All the awesome followers of the official .Me Twitter account will have the chance to participate in the #MyCheesyValentine Twitter contest by tweeting funny, witty and unconventional Valentine’s Day greetings. For example: “Roses are red. Violets are blue. This poem sucks. But I love you! #MyCheesyValentine” The .ME team will select ten winners, who will be awarded a free .ME domain name registration for one year. Read the complete rules…

Who Cares? Everyone (And Your Mom)

Here are all the people that will LOVE getting a .me domain name:

• That girl you like;
• That boy you like;
• Linda from Accounting who you wanted to ask out since forever;
• Bob from Finance who is the exact replica of George Clooney, except hotter and more willing to settle down;
• Your mom;
• Your professor/boss/psychiatrist/bartender;
• All your aunts;
• Your cat, if you’re into that sort of thing (I would be – then again, I’m known as Future Lonely Cat Lady);
• Everyone!

Now here are some sensible reasons to check out TheGiftOf.Me (this may or may not be from our Press release – I have to get the words in, give me a break):

A .Me domain is a wonderful gift for all sorts of people. Bloggers can use a .Me domain for a personal blog. A recent college graduate or job hunter can use a .ME domain to feature a resume. The same is true for artists and individuals looking for a more personal way to showcase what they do online. For those concerned about SEO or online reputation, a .Me domain name can provide a powerful boost to online visibility. The extension is also ideal for a parent who wants to lock down a domain name on behalf of a child or secure a catchy, memorable family email address.

I really, truly hoped we helped you find that special present for that special someone, or that at the very least, we’ve made you laugh. I’m off to get a personalized .me now as a present for my boyfriend, as he’s probably all I’ll have left after getting fired and disowned by my family for writing silly blog posts.

Editor’s note: Not nearly the silliest blog post on the .Me blog.
