.Me Generation

With reference to the blogging yesterday by Dan Gillmor, Dave and (immodestly) me on the problem of there being more people than unique domain names:

Brits are about to be allowed to register their names as “.me.uk” According to an article from Reuters (in Canada’s Globe and Mail) the domain names will be handed out on a first come, first served basis and will initially cost 50 pounds. (For those with self-esteem problems, an alternative punctuation is available for an additional 25 pounds: “Me? Uk!”).

Jacob Schwirtz of Gazm.org, who has started blogging recently, points us to KevinKelly.net, an amusing site for people named, well, you figure it out.
