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’ve got a different view. I think enthusiasts like mactel will ruin the credibility of .tel (if any).

Suggestions for restructering the forum thread

.
1,) This is a forum tread, called "The Official .TEL Discussion Thread".

2.) The way the discussion is held, should be conform with the forum rules, as well as with common ways, how people generally communicate in civilicized forums. But many posts, from same members, are not comform in that sense.

3.) There exists a forum (not at NamePros) called "TelSucks!".

4.) I suggest, that NamePros members, who think, that .tel sucks, move either to that forum, or that NamePros opens another tread called;
"The Official .TELsucks! Discussion Thread".

5.) And that we keep this place and thread "clean", from depreciated comments about .tel, as well as depreciated and personal comments about other members who support tel.

6.) I invite the management of NamePros to be so kind, and make a decision, or suggest another solution.

7.) We could also start a poll, and ask the members, if they would agree with such a "gentlemen agreement within NamePros members".

8.) Furthermore, I suggest, that we vote for a other forum adminstrator, who should deal with the new situation, and keep this a peaceful tread for .tel friends.

Peace and charity.
It is hard enough, with the financial crisises and the credit crunsch, etc.

What's your point mactel? Seriously, you continue to knock
Namepros management and admins because they won't delete
the posts or ban the members YOU want us to?
And now you want me replaced because I won't delete the "bad posts"?
Gimme a break!

Yet you don't follow rules, and you got quite a break the other day, did you
forget?? ... so let's not go there ;)

Depreciated comments?? You mean another opinion/passion that is not the same as yours?

If you are not happy with the way this thread/forum is, please
don't waste your time here then. Find a forum of followers elsewhere.

We're not going to re-decorate just cause you don't like the colors!

More than once I have noticed that the most vocal proponents of new extensions happen to be newcomers to the domain industry.
.tel is no exception.
No problem to debate though, but instead of speculating about what .tel could/will do in your wildest dreams, let's talk about what it's doing in real life today.

Well, I did suggest change. And it would be only good, for this thread, if there would be.... change.

It would be a better service for NamePros. For its reputation.
If .tel gets more praise and attention in the media, and people come around to read the old posts from this thread. Than reputation of NamePros would be seriously affected.

This thread is supposed to help and support .tel, and not the other way around.

The problem seems to be, that no one, till now, has the courage, for a fresh start, with new rules.

Because this game should be over, for a new game to start. Respectively, we should be one team, and not two teams in constant disput.

This thread was createt to get somewhere, and to achieve something positive.
But many members just don't feel very comfortable, and are possibly affraid, to take a position or viewpoint. Because they see, how other members get treated.

It could be much nicer, here, in this thread. We could get (more) posts from the Telnic management, but we are putting them off. They are peeping in, and reading, but prefere, rather not to say much.

It is quite embarrassing, to be honest.

If Telnic management is peeping in, I'm sure they will post when there is something to post,
instead of hypatheticals and wishful thinking.

Don't worry so much about other people and their opinions, if you have something useful and constructive, by all means post it. But please keep it realistic.

The point of this thread is to discuss .TEL. This means the negative and positive aspects.

This thread is not just here as a way to pump .TEL.

Namepros is an open forum where users can express their opinions. If you want to find a place of only like-minded people you are going to have to look somewhere else.

Mactel,
People post when they have something to post. I am a supporter of .tel own just under 30 names; when I feel I have something to post I shall post it. Untill then I dont feel the need to talk for the point of making noise.

I am sure many others are in the same boat. So called naysayers wont put us of posting, when there is something to post, after all this is a discussion thread. While some peoples arguments get repetitive others are enlightening; As domain buying is a investment, is it not better to know both sides of the coin?

If you have great ideas which others dont understand why not develop them and show, after all it is best to deal in fact and easiest to follow by example.

>>>
Couple of quick questions for anyone, What is the best way to enter a phone number with extension into a .tel so it direct dials?
Has anyone got any news on non registrar .tel hosting?

Exactly :)
Besides, domain extensions do not fail because of the naysayers. They fail because the end users do not embrace them.
Never forget that Mactel.

The worst that can happen is that newbies reading this thread will hopefully think twice before they invest any serious money in .tel or .whatever.

Older members here have witnessed quite a few domain landrushes already. Telnic has been telling you how their extension is magic and so 'different' (well it is !) but it's always the same story. Hype, bubble, failure, oblivion. No crystal ball gazing here.

I think we're all aware of the people who poured their money into dumb extensions, but isn't it strange to say that history is bound to repeat itself in spite of the fact you recognise .tel is of a completely different nature, for different applications, and different markets.

At least posit some rationale about the challenges you think it will fail to overcome. That would be a constructive argument worthy of our time.. this endless argument over baseless opinions is doing my head in.

Here are three videos I created not too long ago that could be helpful in explaining .TEL. Let me know what you think.

YouTube - Forget Phone Numbers. Dial Your Name with .TEL
YouTube - How to be Cool with Your Own .TEL Name
YouTube - Easy Instant Website / Online Business Card with .TEL

I think your 3 videos just about cover what a couple of hundred posts have been trying to say. Very well done, refreshing, funny and make a good argument as to the benefits of a .Tel :tu:

It worked for me. I learned from the ME thread. Although I made money from .me, the names I held, even in .info would have given me xx,xxx-xxx,xxx. They were sold during the hype and I made low/mid xxxx. The two that I did keep (which sold for a combined xxx,xxx in com and net) can’t get a $60 bid to dump at auction. I just figured .tel would be the same and decided to take the advice of the senior members and avoid it.


With that said, although I don’t have any .tel, I can see how a small business that wasn’t interested in maintaining a website but still required a web presence could use .tel. For $10 a year some mom and pop operation can have a simple web presence that meets their needs. The only problem is, it would be pretty hard for a domainer to sell a mom and pop shop their own name.

For large companies, with an established website – dot tel really isn’t necessary, is it?
It is just an extra unnecessary step.

Semohi, very nice job. I think this sums up the use of dot tel. Good for small businesses (without a current website or real need for one but still) looking for a web presence. Unfortunately I don’t see much of an enduser market (unless you registered a lot of first names).
