Plaggypig,
If go back, a few posts, you find my "How To" for advertising.
My point is, that we should provide more stuff for "average joe user".
If you explain to average joe: Look, you can set up a "Contact Us" .tel page on your website like tis:
1.) If you would like a navigatable Google Map, it is a bit complicated, and you will need a very skilled developer.
2.) If you are fine with a Google map, "fix", without navigation, you can quite easily set the page up, with a little bit of PHP coding,
3.) And the "dummies" version, is without a map, where you only have to embed a code (JavaScript), same as if you would embed a code for a video.
And which takes you about fifteen minutes.
And then he would'nt get lost in 1,) or 2.), and could go straight foreward to 3.) and make a nice experience, instead of getting frustrated.
At least he would know, what it takes and costs (time and money) to do set them up.
Of course, you found your way through the "instruction and info jungle", but you are a techie.
Angain: The ideas is, that "non techies" are able to do as much as possible by their own, without having to get a developer, webmaster, etc., every time.
.tel should be more "configuration friendly" for non techies.
And evern the existing ducumentations and instructions could be simpler layed out, for the developers, so that more of them "get it", within reasonable time.
It's not going to be the techies and developers, who will make .tel viable, it will be "average joe, the user".
Once one understands the basics about the .tel technology, many other things get clear, and can be understood in a context.
People, who have got already lost and confused at this stage, won't be able to follow up configuration work easily.
Important, are solid and thourough, but simplifyed guides and tutorials, which are self explaining.
We have only started with "pages for websites" and "advertising", and the majoritiy of the develolpers got lost and stuck, and the average users, got nowhere, and only frustrated.
But there is a lot more to come (features), which could be all "Do It Your self", and not "Go find a developer, and see that you have enough cash to pay him for his services".
Telnic has failed so far, in that sense, that it had announced two major features, that where very troublesome to set up, mainly, because they where not properly prepared to offer a "ready system, just in time", or "a all in one guide for dummies", that works,
With the "Contact Us" page, the guide was there (a bit poor, maybe), but it did not work.
With advertising, one had to collect all bits and pieces of info, and complete them to a whole. If you had oversaw some information, you where imediatly lost and stuck.
(Even Linux is simpler, and it even offers good instructions, and has a lot of knowledgable people within their community.)
Hopefully less chaos, next time, when there are some important new features announced, for dot tel.
And that Telnic is well prepared, and thas complete instructions all ready at hand, that really work, because their system enables everything.
About putting ads on the TelProxy:
I wouldn't put too many...: maybe maximum three, or else, it will look a bit over crowded, and a bit hard fo find the other information...
