Tel On The Map Facebook App I am happy to announce that Tel On The Map is now officially a FaceBook APP in their directory. It uses the same code as Telview. And the keyword search feature now works so you can find a beer or shoe store near you - except for the odd time it returns tels without a map entry (Telnic fix on the way to Telpages API). Thanks to all the early testers. Mark |

I linked and it shows geo-location failed. I set manually, and it holds ... briefly. I log out, log back in and it shows failed, starts over. Is this the 24 hour delay ?[/size] |
Mark Tel On The Map works great. Will now share it with my Facebook friends. I got some people to test Telview at different locations in my region where I have directories and all were very impressed, including iPhone users. Demonstrating the power of .tel like this is a great way to let people see what the domain is all about. Seems to be lots of interesting .tel developments on the way. Once all these exciting apps begin to get talked about, the sales people will soon see the potential of .tel Great work by app developers, Mark and dottel.net |
To me I also work, I write Las Palmas and I see 61 domains in 10 Km, much more than I thought. I thought it was only me with I domain .tel, but are another 61 domains .tel in 10 Km near me. The problem is: How can get my location in facebook? because I think this is the interesting. |
Telrific, I'm wondering if it could be your browser. Telview/On The Map use HTML5 which is fast becoming a cross-device standard for apps. HTML5 supports geo-location which lets apps find where you are. The latest browser versions of IE (IE9), Firefox, Chrome, Safari all support HTML5. Mark |
Tindaya, are you saying that you that the app doesnt find your location or that your tel doesnt appear? Mark |

Mark, I think that may be the problem as I also cannot get a single Dot Tel showing within any distance of Portsmouth (or even London) when I input the location manually - I have tried TelView using IE8 on a development PC and as you say IE8 does not support automatic geo-location by Apps. But given that many users still have IE8 is there any way you can get this to work if the user inputs the location manually (as myself and Telrific did) rather than TelView only working if IE9 is being used? If not - it would be helpful if TelView could check the version of IE being used and if less than 9 give a message out to the user advising them an upgrade to IE9 is necessary - ideally with a link to the Microsoft page that contains this.

Ooops ! Looks Like IE9 Requires Windows 7 - Not Going To Happen Here. As well, this will likely be the case with Millions of others. :o[/size] |
Mark, one other thought on the "onthemap" app and the current development- the true value of Geo .tel names has now been displayed. With 500 million people on Facebook looking for things to do and things to purchase, in all countries and all locations- this app and others to come will surely increase the value and "attractiveness" to small businesses and professionals who want to be found. For me searching in Waikiki brings great results from my .tel- hotels, restaurants, taxi's.. These businesses are getting calls, especially the taxi's... This gives me further motivation to populate more of my Geo's. regards- |
I will add browser detection and warning soon after I find out how to do that. Chrome and Firefox are optional choices to get it to work. As for entering a location when your browser doesn't detect it, you can do that now and press [Set Location] then always press [Go] to get a new map. Also you may be getting a message bar that says something about "Share Location" etc. Reply Yes to that. Mark |
Aliencafe, that is the true meaning of being on the map. Discoverability is what it is all about. When Henri publishes his mapping app and hopefully Telnic embraces the power of visualization, .tel will have so much more exposure. I believe Telnic is investigating my proposals for visualization standards, including those for coupons. Waiting for the day when other apps can start showing coupons and offers on the map. You can add coupons now - instructions in the help dialog. Mark |

It's the PERFECT tool to get Facebook to become the MySpace, and TelPages to become the New Greatest Thing ! Needs IE8 support somehow though, will take too long to gain popularity otherwise. :cool:[/size] |

IE8 I'll work on. For social networking we have to show content. Start using the coupon feature to display offers. I've got a FB game in mind using Tel - stay tuned. Mark[/size] |
I´m the last, in my PC I have IE6, and I can´t change for another thing. But: I send my location in the mobile, the business have the location in the domain.tel, telview joint the locations and send the near businesses to the mobile. China mobile design that I can pay with VISA in the domain.tel, and the entrance or the invoce of what I have bouhgt is send by QR code to the mobile And only you can do this with the domains .tel because are all equals, with the anothers domains is imposible. All quickly, automatic, without paper... Perfect. Like that I see the future, for that I bought the domains .tel |

If you read what Henri said about a geo directory.... I think we're getting really close to showing what we got..[/size] |

La idea es promociar telview como buscador. Si entras en telview, debe detectar tu posición, aunque para ello debes de tener IE9, o en caso contrario puedes poner el lugar donde quieras buscar, pulsas set location y luego vas a go. Y entonces descubres que aparecen los dominios .tel que estén en esa distancia. Tu ordenador en IE9 manda la posición tuya (¿creo?) por lo menos el móvil debería mandarla. Y luego en los dominios .tel que tengan coordenadas geográficas, pues también está, así que telview se limita a unir coordenadas tuyas, con las de los dominios .tel, y te aparece esa información a la derecha. Piensa que si buscas restaurantes cerca de tu casa, basta con entrar en telview, poner restaurantes y apareceran los restaurantes que tengan dominio .tel y tengan las coordenadas cerca de ti. La idea yo creo que es genial, si a esto le añadimos que todos puedan usar la VISA para cobrar y pagar (desarrollo China Mobile) y que las facturas iran por código QR al móvil. Y lo de meterlo en facebook es una forma de hacer que se transmita dicha aplicación en forma viral, es decir que si todos nosotros se la vamos mandando a los amigos que tenemos, pues en un tiempo la gente la conocerá y al poderse usar desde facebook pues es una ventaja. Personalmente a mí todo esto me encanta, pues lo considero un nuevo modelo de busqueda total y precisa, a la vez que dinámica y libre de cada uno a la hora de poner u obtener iformación. |
