Hi All,

1)
would it be a good idea to link a .tel to a twitter account ?
.tel offer free text area.

Thinking about the idea that .tel could gather data from a twitter account to feed the free text area.

2) Any news about the abilily for .tel to serve specific data based on requester location
Ex:
if requester is from Paris and requesting plumber.tel => automaticly retrieve Paris plumber's telephone
if requester is from NY and requesting plumber.tel => automaticly retrieve NY plumber's telephone.
This last feature would create a real added value to .tel

Best Regards

There was case made that .tel would be a good choice for certain types of professionals (plumbers ?) that just want a point of contact and don't want a fully-fledged website with hosting.

.TEL and TelPages.com is the perfect choice for BILLIONS of Individuals OR Businesses Who want something that is perfect and useful as the ONE place to start for ANY effort, website or not !

All that matters is consumer acceptance and the amount of actual usage. If hardly anybody has even heard about .tel, you're preaching in the middle of the desert.

Las Vegas was preaching in the middle of the desert too ... matter of time.

Again, the "What it is" as an advantage isn't changed by the "When this is realized"

It has soooo many advantages from DNS, Price, Ownership, Control, Updating, Devices, Etc.

Like Email and Snail Mail, it just takes realizing the advantages when it comes to time and money ...

I'll say that again ... time and money ... this tends to be a big factor ... like Websites over brochures, etc.

Have you made money yet with .tel ?

Yes, I have.

Are you suggesting that .tel sends the same amount of business as a YellowPages listing?

The only thing that has ever been suggested is that:

1. Businesses and Individuals have both Yellow/White Listings, and Websites.

2. The two have separate and distinct purposes, and are used everyday in their own capacity.

3. Websites and their Search Engines Have evolved to what they are today.

4. YellowPages "style" directories have finally evolved with .TEL and TelPages.com

Two separate and distinct purposes - and FINALLY evolution on the "YellowPages Style" side !

Great Job Telnic ! Keep Evolving ! You're ALREADY Better Than ANYTHING On This Side !

Now, what is the advantage of the DNS? A miliseconds of a difference in getting information? That maybe WAS advantage before 10 years, when TELNIC was submitting their TEL application to ICANN. But that is not an advantage for the end user, as the end user will never know about the DNS.

It is a HUGE difference when browsing from a 3g phone. Try browsing .com pages with your phone vs .tel pages.

Here is a real life story:

I bought a .tel domain for a shopping centra and was on my way home with my GF.
We were looking for a present but we did not remember the shopping centras opening hours,
so we did not know if it would still be open if we went there.
I told my gffriend to look up their opening hours, but she told me it takes such a long time to look on the internet eventhough she got 3g.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=561820
I told her to look at my own .tel and timed her, it took her 5 seconds to se the opening hours!

That was an eye opener for me and for her.

With .tel you know you get speed its a global standard for speed and speed does still matter when you are out on the street and using slow 3g.

The differences are also about security and availability (replication)

Internet is not limited to html.

Would you use html for voiceoverip ? for p2p ? No ? why ? each needs have its requirement and .tel bring a elegant solution to a simple need that have not been filled yet.

Their is people around me having a .tel just to maintain their contact info online. Would you recommand them to spend more money and learn html + web hosting just to bring their contact info online ?

Then we are speaking about CMS, and such are available since the Internet. You can also pay few dollars and get CMS where you enter all the informations.

TEL is surely a great stuff, but I bet your friends don't know what is SIP/XMPP/H323 and so on, those are esoteric features for any beginner.

Hey guys,

I hope I'm posting this in the proper section.

I have several .tel domains and because of my financial situation I need to let a few expire.

I was hoping you could give me some advice on which ones I should keep.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=561820

As an example, I have my first name last name at .tel and I also have my first initial last name at .tel.

If you had to let one expire which one would you choose?

I also have a few three letter .tel domains and was wondering if they would be worth keeping?

The one is a fairly common acronym.

I also have a geographic .tel which is a fairly known city. Would you keep that?

I just really need some advice on what to dump.

Thanks

[JLouisBiz]

Well, better sort them by priority and keep those which you can pay. Message me with 3 letter TELs, maybe I buy something.

This argument was probably made within the first few pages of this thread.

My view at the time was that since .tel was speculation, you have to consider future network speeds. Does today's .tel vs. .com on 3G argument stand the test of time? Of course not. Now lo and behold here we are a year later and 4G has been launched.

Yes but the point is even with 4G you sometimes want to surf quick pages without 100 flash banners etc and than you know .tel will be speed. It will still be a couple of years before you have 4G networks all over the world but by that time .tel domains will have evolved with new functionality etc.

I'm considering selling my Nevada.tel soon. Does anyone here want to give an opinion about how much to sell it for and where?

Yes. I have several yellow pages listings. When I compare TEL traffic to the basic yellow pages traffic, they are about the same. That's why, as a business owner, I support TEL. TEL costs less and I get a back link too. Since the fees are 100% Tax deductible anyhow, it is the obvious choice. If you continue to save "no" to such a small expense as a TEL registration fee, then it is obvious too that you a) don't have a small business or b) don't have a very good accountant to help with your taxes. There is not a negative-side to owning a TEL for small business purposes. For small businesses, TEL is 100% positive.

Hi,

Thanks for the feed back.

Just so I'm understanding you correctly. As an example, if I had:

johndoe.tel or jdoe.tel

are you saying it would be better to keep the jdoe.tel name?

Could you elaborate a little more on why.

Thanks a ton.

same here.. other extensions dont do that why should they its too overpowering.

[steveteva]

Reading the .tel registrar newsletter is WOW, adding new features and making it attractive is a win win situation. All .tel nasayers here are wrong.

Also .tel domains are soon dropping and this can change .tel owners and investors not to let it expired but renew it.

Happy I own nice .tel but regret that I sold over hundreds, anyway I couldn't pay renewal fees.

[lipps]

One thing that would be nice would be the ability to create a directory sublevel that could be secured with a password.
You could protect private information viewable by only those with the passcode

Just a thought.

Thanks hakita.

I guess it really comes down to personal preference.

Thanks again.

About .tel soon dropping.
Most of nice .tel have been registered in landrush, and are automatically registered for 3 year.
So nice .tel wont drop soon.

[plaggypig]

I thought you guys might be interested in the Murman.tel case study - they claim to have 250 paid listings, $8,000 revenue last month, and are growing fast.
