Generic terms for Mobile Voting/Polling
*
I'm in the process of setting up a polling/voting site that will offer some generic (and common) voting terms for lease/rent, resulting in fast results via mobile phone and websites: political, business, and entertainment projects.
.Tel offers a simple infrastructure for setting up communications: Telephone (landline and mobile), VOIP, SMS, etc. All of this is already set up by Telnic. Moreover, major companies already have their various phone numbers, shortcodes (such as they are), and websites set up for their various voting and polling projects. However, they tend NOT to have easy and memorable terms to flash across a TV or computer screen.
.Tel domains (with their built-in communications infrastructure) can offer short and/or memorable terms that can be flashed across a screen, terms that can integrate customer's existing communications infrastructure with that of a .tel domain.
The customer gives me the phone numbers, shortcodes, website URLs, etc., and I set up a customized voting/polling configuration for a specific polling project. In minutes. I do no coding whatsoever; I simply plug in existing contacts, and the customer gets a quick (and temporary) voting/polling platform, all presented on a simple electronic card. Yet the result has the potential to revolutionize the way polling is done. Statistics, opinions, trends, etc., will be measured quickly and accurately--via .Tel sites integrated with sophisticated technology.
I am 99% certain that within a year or two, most new mobile phones will (1) be internet-enabled, (2) offer a Qwerty keyboard (virtual or actual), making text-based messaging and dialing .tel domains incredibly easy, and (3) devices will be able to handle heavy files. Moreover, .Tel (and maybe .mobi as well) will evolve in ways that we can't even imagine yet.
So I have been gathering some .tel domains for my polling business. I may not have some of the top terms, but I have a great (and complete) collection of highly memorable terms that can be configured in various ways, depending on the customer's preferences and polling needs. Some are high traffic, some are not, but, remember, some of these terms are designed to be flashed quickly across a tv screen or posted on a website (already likely to have high traffic), not searched on the internet. I'm working on some voting configurations, which I will be posting on my site (to be developed in the next few days), but, for now, here is a list of what I did manage to reg, many of them GA regs. I got one of my best (SHORT) popular culture terms YESTERDAY:
Fave.tel ("Vote for your favorite contestant by dialing fave.tel...")
List of other voting and polling domains (all .tels):
Against
For
VoteYES
YESvote
VoteNO
NOvote
NotSure
Unsure
NoOpinion
None
NoneOfTheAbove (surprisingly well-searched--go figure).
Polls (this in itself could be a blockbuster during an election year)
GoOnline
OnlinePoll
OnlinePolls
OnlineVote
CommentOnline (Web-based messages, perhaps via an online form)
LeaveMessage (Telephone message via an answering machine)
VoteNOW (for more formal voting configurations)
I like the call-to-action domains, particularly Vote NOW, Vote YES, and Vote NO. I would have liked Vote Online, but someone beat me to it (such is the life of a domainer). I took a chance that I would be able to snag it in GA pre-order, but, evidently, another Telster beat me to it.
:kickass:
I suspect that most customers will use just one .tel domain (VoteNOW or Fave), with links listed within that lone card. For more complex voting projects, a customer might want separate voting cards:
ISSUE: Obama's Stimulus Package, etc.
For
Against
Not Sure
No Opinion
Leave Message
Comment Online
Online Vote
In quick voting platforms, simplicity is imperative, and IMHO, .tel can offer this possibility.
