Many visionary companies see the new .CO domains as an opportunity to extend their brand or expand their online offerings in a way that was not previously possible due to limited availability of .com domains. Recently, the e-commerce powerhouse Overstock.com announced it paid $350,000.00 USD to acquire ?O.CO? to target new audiences and expand its global brand.
?The O.CO domain presented us with an unprecedented opportunity to add a meaningful online presence that will enhance recognition for the ?O? brand, align with current marketing initiatives, and make it easier for shoppers to find our products and services online,? said Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick Byrne. ?Dollar for dollar, it?s a homerun and well worth the investment because it reinforces among consumers that ?O? is synonymous with ?Overstock?.

I did not catch shit in general availability even though I had pre-ordered through 3 different registrars.
