The .TEL Discussion Thread

[brendan52190]

Hi

For this, let's assume that .tel will not be a total flop.

What type of keywords will be most valuable for this extension? Will it be geographical keywords, like newyork.tel, losangeles.tel, etc, or what else?

I renewed my Lez.tel and Bri.tel, but I'm thinking I'll let Fae.com go. Appreciate the input.

Don't let Fae.com go!! LOL

Is there any movement in the .tel aftermarket?

I have a few great ones (imho :red: ) but no interest:

biotech

you had chance to sell 'postal' .tel to me but has since been dropped - omg :td:

 

[mis_chiff]

I think Geo .tels are worth keeping, came across a site [telireland.ie -Tel Ireland - nice to see.

LOL that isin't a GEO .tel, it isin't even a .tel so not sure why you posted it here.

Think you're confusing me w/ someone else, I don't think I ever owned postal.

I never said telireland_ie was a .tel - I posted it here has it should be of interest to .tel fans - its goal is to facilitate the populating of a large set of Geo .tel's relating to businesses and services in towns and cities in Ireland.

I was not watching too intently but I don't think I noticed the 3 year reg ($300?) .tels dropping at Dynadot or elsewhere.

Perhaps collected back by the registrars?

 

[kimberlymitchell87]

Some companies are charging £100 a time for a basic set-up, as people can't cope with the official user guide - but anyone here can DIY it and save that!

There are no links on the shootpics site to those pages, so you need to use the full URLs.

BTW, although you can buy and set up .tels now, they don't seem to be registering properly and the information is not displaying on the ones I've done today. The system is probably suffering from overload .. like me, LOL!

I have keep my few premium tels in the longshot possibility that this company will light a fire under its a...posterior and try to get regular domain status OR sell to a giant telecom who MAY be able to use tel for its infrastructure.

As others have stated over the past three years: perhaps .tel is a gTLD whose time has long passed.

I should have listened...but that's water under the bridge. Still, if for no other reason than warning others not to jump on the new gTLD bandwagon, this thread should be kept alive.

One positive: I have learned from this experience and am a more careful buyer.

Peace, all!

Just spotted Airport.tel in pending delete, should be plenty of interest in this premium.

 

[Kate]

Premium .tel is an oxymoron

 

[jjcool]

foodguide.tel
want.tel

foodguide.tel

.tel is a dead duck. I suppose you could prefix want with:


anybody.want.tel ?

 

[Kate]

While the .tel zone is shrinking, the drop is not as sharp as expected - yet :wave:
