    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    The iPhone .tel navigation app is out! It's called Superbook and it's available for free on the app store. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch you can now really see the speed of navigating .tel domains. Navigation died when Google overtook Yahoo. It is now back with a vengeance! :) The full...

    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    Here's something interesting to respond to. :) Today, should you wish to, you can have a directory that looks like this: x.x.x.x.domain.tel where every single subdomain is a single letter. Furthermore, you could also have: y.y.y.y.domain.tel where both y.y.y.y and x.x.x.x have a link to...

    mis_chiff, I am somewhat disappointed (but was expecting it nonetheless) at your analysis of .tel domains, especially in regards to the perceived negative aspect of development restrictions on the .tel. You are looking at .tel from the viewpoint of someone building a website where form and...

    The point is that you can get p1-212-555-1212.tel if you want, and put in it not only your phone number, but also your IMs, emails, websites, etc..., and all that securely if you want as well. And it'll never change for you, even when you move from NY to Florida to retire in half a century...

    That's a problem with your iPhone. It's an OS thing that I have no control over: it does it 2 times and then it should auto-accept and you'll never see the popup again. But I'll see to making this a user-editable setting anyway. Very good points. I'll also work on a single button press "add...

    Okay. In keeping to the spirit of the web and relevant hyperlinks, please read my blog entries from last may, specifically: Meanings of TLDs .tel record types For those who need a shortcut, here's the elevator explanation (but please read the above posts when you can): The DNS is...

    To dial a .com, you could: 1- add a phone.txt file in the top level of your website 2- put the phone number in a NAPTR record in the DNS, just like .tel To do (1) you need a website, and you need an HTTP request by the device (including a DNS request). To do (2), you just need a DNS...

    FYI I'll be talking at the UK Business Startup Show on thu and fri 26-27 about SEO in general and .tel in particular. Mostly simple practical and cheap ways to do SEO and improve your brand recognition.

    Why I think .tel domains are useless

    Hello, if you have 20k companies, you want them all under a single domain? With each one having its own directory? If so, then yes you'll hit the current limits on the free community telhosting platform: 3,000 domains of 100 contact records each, so that's 300,000 contact records. We've had to...

    New feature in the .tel specs: Long labels Starting today, the TelProxy web interface supports the specification for long labels, allowing every type of contact record to be tagged with a label of any length in UTF-8 format. You can see it in action at Tellipse® for example. Imagine your...

    Sure it is. Say your page is contact.php. The php code in there would grab the DNS info of the default domain (say steveteva.tel) and would then display it on the page. What you'd do is check for non-terminal NAPTRs (i.e. links to subdomains) and wrap them in the correct URL. Say for example...

    Why are you guys complicating things? You can have the best of both worlds regarding malibu.losangeles.ca.plumbers.tel and plumberjoe.plumbers.tel. Let's say you've got Mr. Plumber Joe, who's a malibu plumber. You'd like him to be accessible through a search "malibu plumbers" or "los angeles...

    mactel: you do not need any "special" "internal" API to store ads in .tel domains. Inserting ads can be done on any domain. It's just a specially formatted TXT record. Furthermore: The TelHosting control panel is not the end-all-be-all of management of a .tel. It's something for the average...

    Let me answer this ".tel vs. .com" issue once again, and let's hope it doesn't come up for another 50 pages. Q: Can you do everything that .tel does in a .com? A: YES ===== Q: What does it take to do everything that .tel does in a .com? A: If you wanted to do everything .tel does...

    The Telproxy (.tel -> web proxy) doesn't yet have support to display the specified ad formats. That's of course coming soon. The ad formats were published before the telproxy support so that developers would have more time to work with. Note that you can already publish ads into your DNS...

    "callto:" is a skype extension. On phones (including iphone), it's "tel:" which is the official prefix. Lookup a .tel on safari on an iphone, and a single click will initiate the call. You don't need any extra software.

    This is flat out wrong. Registrars are free to use their own backend databases and telhosting, and very soon anyone will be able to become their own telhosting provider through a free accreditation process. We (Telnic) don't care about your info. We're not in any way, shape or form in the...
