They don't relate to companies. The CO stands for Colombia! Just like .br stands for Brazil and .uk stands for United Kingdom. There have been a few companies using the .co as a marking ploy because it sounds catchy in certain instances. In other instances other domain extensions might sound catchy. But those companies, for instance Overstock kept their original .com domain for all intensive purposes other than a catchy commercial. With all the new domain extension applications out there and rumors that many will be approved, an overpriced country specific domain like .co will not keep any value.



On top of that factor in the bad economy and the very high renewal fees of .co ... it just doesn't make sense to get this domain extension unless you live in Colombia.
