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 am not promoting cybersquatting, but at the same time don't accept the idea of being so afraid of even touching TM-like names... IMHO

GoDaddy Hotmail both are TM names.
Newbie should avoid TM names at all cost! :imho:

Some decent names there. I, for one, will be checking how they fair on Sedo. That will give an indication of how this ext is starting to be perceived. It is still very early.

couple of questions about folders

1. is there an ability to rename folders? deleting it and creating it with a new name will cause me to lose all the content within that folder

2. is there an ability to copy contents of one folder to another?

thanks.

May I add to these questions: I want to populate many folders with identical subfolders which will each then get unique entries of their own. Can I somehow copy a whole set rather than type each subfolder in one-by-one?

Use the APIs. The front-end is already complex enough for the total uninitiated, which is the largest market. We can't have one UI that caters to everyone, at least not yet while people are just learning about .tel. That's what APIs are for.

If you need someone to help you build such apps, ask in one of the following forums:

http://dev.telnic.org/trac : The official Telnic dev forum
or
http://www.telsters.com/forum

For 1: this is coming real soon now.

For 2: "select all, choose action "copy to". The only thing is that this action is not recursive for the moment, so it only copies one level.

** You can create a hold all folder while your working on it,
that way you don't loose anything. Just remember to remove
when your done.**

When you log in to your .tel
Go to The "Folders" tab
Click the ADD button
Create a new folder
Then go to the one you want to copy,
Select what you want to copy or move, click the "Actions" button
Select copy or move.
After you do that a box will come up with a drop down
menu, select where you want to copy or move the info to.

It'll create a Button called "Go To" on the main page,
and when you click it, it's the subfolder with the info you copied/moved.

Once you get the info copied/moved you can edit the original,
you cannot change the "Main Folder Name" That is the domain.
Any others should be editable.

Hope that helps :)

Wow...you need to look into TM issues as much as the guy who registered them! You think he can keep "Hotmail"? Microsoft will almost certainly come knocking, and of course it's a TM.

Not securing them during sunrise doesn't forfeit any company their TM rights on a name.

Regardless of whether Microsoft or GoDaddy seize the names or not, there isn't a knowledgeable domainer on Earth who would buy them from him, and he most certainly can't actually use them himself, so they are completely, utterly worthless.

Sorry to be green here, but how does an affiliate account differ from a paid directory entry when we're in .tel land? They get a whole page to themselves, is that it? It's still a sale to an advertiser, it seems to me. Or am I missing something important here?! Thanks!!
The idea is that you, the domain owner, would have an affiliate account with a company selling a product related to your domain. Say you've got "Potatoes.tel" and you have an affiliate account with MarthasPotatoes.com (made that one up). You put your affiliate link from MarthasPotatoes.com on your .tel page as a Web link with the heading "Shop at Martha's Potatoes." The user clicks and if they then buy potatoes at Martha's, you get your affiliate commission.

The nice thing about this is that there's no effort required selling space to advertisers, and if you end up getting any traffic to Potatoes.tel, you can redirect them for profit to a site that can sell them potatoes.

People aren't going to spend $XXX for a general availability registration.

I approached someone about a .tel that I thought would be nice to have (a city) and they went to Estibot, which of course isn't set up to "appraise" .tel, so they put in .mobi as the extension which spit out a price of $610. That's the price they offered to sell me the domain at. D-:

I laughed aloud and haven't bothered to pursue the domain any more...

Folks, if you're regging .tel with the hopes of getting end-user sales to people on NamePros, I think you're dreaming :imho:

Didn't think of that one! Glad my post helped.

Now that's a good fit with the TLD! .TEL would be a great option for drug dealers who simply need a page that has their most up-to-date contact info.

Also good for prostitutes, assassins and other jobs where contact details can change frequently. I'm off to see what's still available!

Hahahaha!
