.ME Domain Chaos Starting Tomorrow

@ 2008/07/16
Those interested in getting a .ME domain name -- perhaps one named just for themselves -- can do so after ICANN, the organization responsible for overseeing Internet domains, opens up .ME domain registration tomorrow.

The "Sunrise" period of registration for .ME domains began in May, where trademark owners were permitted to register their own names early. The "Landrush" period began in June, in which any interested party can submit a domain application without restrictions.

What's worse is that soon the whole .xxxx will go public; so you can have your own http://web.shogun domain name and it will resolve through the DNS servers as ICANN will allow them all.

wondering how many rip-off site there will be for spammers :/
