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?

 

[Tia Wood]

With .tel, I can post all my recipes and have them link to more recipes which further link to more recipes without all the distractions of pictures and stuff. I want to make a version better than allrecipes.com, without all the useless distractions, disgusting search feature and colorful colors. And I want to do this all by hand.

Furthermore, I would like to not monetize this solution by not publishing the ad solution and which I want to encourage massive amounts of users to use my recipe .tel name just because of this revolutionary way to store .tel.

Hey Tia, I can follow recipes that have no pictures.

But I just had an epiphany, people can use .tel domains to store sex stories, or "pile up" jokes. Who needs images.

Or people can use .tel to issue threats and cuss at eachother in "real time".

Or, how about "piling up" names of stamps or coins one might have in their collections. No pictures, but you can spend some great time doing that.

I think you are on to something. Twitter is very distracting. I am also appalled that I can change my background on Twitter. I want a layout like everyone else. And I would also like to publish sex stories with links to more sex stories which further link to more sex stories.

I am totally getting this!

 

[Acroplex]

Exactly.

Until the Chinese government blocks .tel

By the way, I went to sexstories.tel and found nothing there, just links to .com porn sites.

Seems that someone registered that premium .tel domain without realizing the full potential of "piling up" information.

 

[Tia Wood]

I cannot see, if I were a regular user, why I would use Facebook or Myspace or some free AOL host space with a brower control panel for design when all I have to do is explain to my relatives and friends what .tel is, scorn them for going to the .com and allow them access to my whole contact information.

For the life of me, dealing with corporate clients: I also do not understand why they would not reinvest money re-branding their support system to re-point their customers to a .tel domain when they already have useless telephone systems! I mean, common, look how easy .tel is to set up and use. Freaking they act like they need control or compatibility or something.

 

[tkstark]

yawn.

 

[Acroplex]

Imagine this, "piling up" votes for American Idol! That'd be a great real-time tool.

Or keeping track of the weight lost by the "Biggest Loser".

Maybe I am just ahead of this game. Liming opened my mind up.

 

[Tia Wood]

Acroplex, think of it as the dmoz of DNS. You have directories with links. And people adding directories with links which link to more links and even more links! This is amazing advancement in internet technology! Can't you see it, too??!

 

[Acroplex]

But it looks cool on the iPhone (which I don't own) and you should check it out (because you own one).

 

[Tia Wood]

I tried. But I was so overwhelmed by all the information and coolness. It was like God reaching his hand down on an internet page to reveal just what I had been missing due to the over exposure of useless web apps.

Please see the light, Brother Acroplex?!

 

[Acroplex]

Just go to minister.tel - it contains all that you will ever need to know about life.

 

[Tia Wood]

theSecretOfLife.tel is available for whoever wants it.....

Acroplex, you need to be SAVED by the power of .tel! I will pray for your soul as I heard you were going to hell.tel anyways!!

 

[Acroplex]

Are you mocking my revolutionary ideas? We can use .tel to play adventure games. Register a few as "locations", roll the dice via the "conversation" .tel domain and have "fights" and gain points. All in real time content changes. Through iPhone. Even from China!

Player Gonzo connects to: WarriorsPortalOfDoom.tel
Player Gonzo connects to: RollDiceNow.tel
Player Gonzo connects to: DeathDoomDungeon.tel
Player Bobo connects to: WarriorsPortalOfDoom.tel
Player Bobo connects to: RollDiceNow.tel
Player Bobo connects to: DeathDoomDungeon.tel
Player Gonzo command: "I raise my sword over your head and strike with a dice of 5"
Player Bobo command: "God dammit, my dice was 4"
Player Bobo disconnects

 

[Tia Wood]

No! I feel that the secret of life needs to be published for all to see! It can begin with 1 life secret followed by other life secrets which link to other life secrets.

Your ideas are great now that you are grasping the true power behind .tel. I hope that you understand the power you are dealing with, sir! Do not underestimate the true power of user revolution!

 

[Acroplex]

I hope the TelCamp folks don't steal our ideas. I planned to become a millionaire through them.

 

[Tia Wood]

Maybe we should discuss this in private via thingstodowithteltobecomemillionairefolks.tel okay? I'll ping you on acroplexpingresponse.tel when i am logged into my tiawoodpingresponse.tel.

 

[Acroplex]

Right on.

The Evolution Revolution is coming.

.tel Charter

The .tel charter, part of the .tel Registry Agreement, identifies
(a) the purposes for which the .tel sTLD is delegated, and
(b) the community to be served by its delegation.

1. The .tel sTLD will serve individuals, persons, groups, businesses, organizations, or associations ...

... this defines the sTLD's use for finding people not machines.

2. Because the .tel community is defined by usage, it is critical that this usage be enforced to ensure integrity of the community. Therefore, each registrant will be required to agree to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that states that their delegated domain will not include user-defined A, AAAA, or A6 resource records.

The .tel sTLD is to be used for finding people not machines.

The web page at person.tel is a view into the different ways to contact person not the content or services provided by the machine hosting the web page.

How do you connect a GPS system with .tel map?

You can do so much more with Google Voice/411/latitude, and it's free.

Google 411:
1-800-GOOG-411: Find and connect with local businesses for free from your phone.

Call Goog411, say the business that you're looking for and the location where it's at, and you're connected

Google Voice:

Check out GOOG-411 where you just "say" the name of the business on the phone and the location of it and you get connected to that business for free.
YouTube - Google Voice - GOOG 411

Also, Mobile Site link where you can do pretty much everything that a .tel does.
Update your contact information online and view other people's contact information through your phone.
YouTube - Google Voice - Mobile site

Also phone transcription
Official Google Blog: Here comes Google Voice

More features at
Google Voice

Google latitude:
Google Latitude

Kind of like GPS tracking of where you are and where your friends are at as long as they have Google latitude on their phone.
