What should I do with my domain facetime?

I've been sitting on the domain faceti.me for a long time (registered a few months before a well known company launched a service with the same name - just because I thought it was a cool name) and have recently started thinking I should do something with it to generate some income. At one point I thought about launching a paid email redirect service for folks so people could use this address to hand out or to use as a login for random services. But I really don't know what I should do with the domain so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any clever ideas. Thoughts?

    not very valuable - useful under the right circumstances, but difficult to remember and the .me GTLD is a spam hole (look into it)

    good luck!

      Thanks - had no idea that .me was considered a spammy domain. I might just bolt it onto a startup I'm working on that will be doing a lot of email stuff. If it takes off maybe spin it off otherwise it's an asset for some eventual exit or the like.

    Its a neat domain for a google meets clone. Not sure of the cost to run a site like this but it could be cheap using webrtc.

      This is an interesting idea. Plus there is a free video chat service that I saw not too long ago (the name escapes me right this moment) that I could use to enable chat but offload the traffic (and cost!) to someone else.

      I'm not too worried about this since I bought the domain well before the announcement of the similar named service. I think it's clear that I didn't name squat based on that.

        I just looked - looks like I registered the domain almost two years before the service was announced. I had thought it was just a few months but seems like it was way longer.
