Massive Profits with descriptive domain names Watch this video about how Zappy makes millions from descriptive domain names, think about the future opportunities that .tel offers, then marvel at how incredibly cheap .tel domains currently are ! Mike Seaton |

Excellent Video Mike. Shows exactly what I've been saying all along with .TEL and YellowNames Premium, etc. Couple that with the fact the generic domain name is a natural Key element of exclusive .TEL search results and you have the best combination in the world with .TEL and TelPages.com being pushed together globally. I watch the video and all I can think of is "duh". What is so hard to get about all this ? :)[/size] |
Thanks for sharing the info, its good to be read about then always read about people. i feel sorry for that person selling CreditCards.com for 3m and the other selling it for 133m shows how much we need to learn from him. just understand one thing .tel was a vision of success for many, even still is if you try to play with it only if you are in that market ( business small or big ) then i guess you surely are ahead of your competitors.

Jens, while I understand your concerns, I think we must accept that .tel will never be a replacement web site for .com with all it's design options, although for many small businesses .tel may well be the only web prescence they will ever need. But there are a couple of things that .tel has going for it that other TLDs don't, i.e: 1. The ability to work seamlessly on both mobile phones and desktops/laptops/tablets - with other TLDs you end up maintaining 2 sets of source code. 2. The fact that data in Telnic's Open DNS can be read and published by anyone - if you want your information published on the internet at zero cost to you this is a great way to achieve that. I have accepted .tel for what it is - although that doesn't mean it can't be improved - and am making my future plans accordingly. I just wan't "Joe Public" to become aware of .tel and see the benefit of "Dial By Name" and having a single point of contact. Mike Seaton[/size] |

With .tel the display of mobile or desktop is automatically detected and the appropriate screen served up. You can do the same with a .com, but the difference is that it is YOU who has to code the device detection and serve up the appropriate screen, the .com registry does not automatically do this for you !

Absolutely correct - .tel is not meant to be a replacement for .com ! Quote: [/size]
I use http://TelDial.com, available now and free of charge, to "Dial By Name" (and also "Email By Name") from the address bar - here are some examples which can be called from both mobile phones and desktops/laptops/tablets: http://domains123.teldial.com http://henri.teldial.com http://justin.teldial.com http://mikeseaton.teldial.com http://nadya.teldial.com http://telnic.teldial.com Mike Seaton[/size] |

not really - if you're using for example wordpress then there's a simple free plugin you install that will serve up a mobile theme. couldn't be easier to do. for an example check http://newswire.tel.cm on both a pc and mobile device ;)[/size] |

I think the thing to appreciate with .tel is that it is not a product whose mass market sales are aimed at the developer - most .tel users do not want to learn how to use Wordpress and install free plugins. The average Joe, who .tel must target if it is to be successful and reach the mainstream, simply wants to input their data through an easy-to-use facility like the CTH and have it work on both mobile phones and desktops/laptops/tablets without any further work whatsoever !

Limited blogging can be done now via the GuestBook tool (also http://guest-book-1.samples.guestbooks.tel/). If someone wants an extensive blog, then I can expand the tool to handle comments larger than 255 characters, except that they cannot be ordered by date in that case. Tools to make .tel more interactive are available but need to be marketed. Mark[/size] |
@Jens, please. We know that is not possible. Interactivity is limited. But for less than $20 per year, a small business can get rather decent exposure. I'd rather focus on the more positive things and hope it inspires Telnic to be more proactive and open in development. Mark |

When I bought my first domain .tel I thought this kind of domain was too much simple, but two years later I think this domain is too much complex. You can do many many interesting things, but you must study a lot of how do it. Two years a lot, I thougt that the domain .tel will be the future, and now I go on thinking that domain .tel will be the future. In Telcos 10 years ago, was created the NGN (all is IP), because the future is all IP, 10 years later, only 5% use the NGN, but all Telcos know that the future will be all IP. The domains that I bought, always I say to my chindren that they will use them... |
Disruptive innovation Disruptive innovation, a term of art coined by Clayton Christensen, describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves ‘up market’, eventually displacing established competitors. An innovation that is disruptive allows a whole new population of consumers access to a product or service that was historically only accessible to consumers with a lot of money or a lot of skill. Characteristics of disruptive businesses, at least in their initial stages, can include: lower gross margins, smaller target markets, and simpler products and services that may not appear as attractive as existing solutions when compared against traditional performance metrics. Because companies tend to innovate faster than their customers’ lives change, most organizations eventually end up producing products or services that are too good, too expensive, and too inconvenient for many customers. By only pursuing “sustaining innovations” that perpetuate what has historically helped them succeed, companies unwittingly open the door to “disruptive innovations”. TELrural ...TELview ...
