Sign of good things to come for sure. They are mapped via a different proxy server than normal tels.

One thing I noticed is that the vertical scrolling is not as smooth as with the current templates (tested using IE8 and Windows XP).

I haven't checked the coding - but that's usually caused by a change in the way HTML tables are defined in the page.

That was something I suggested to Telnic on this forum over a year ago - it does make sense to clearly distinguish between an Internal and External "GoTo".

My suggestion was to keep the existing Vertical arrow for an Internal GoTo (you are going down a level) and have a new Horizontal arrow for an External GoTo.

Despite support from some forum members nothing actually happened - the suggestion didn't make it to the (now sadly missed) Roadmap !

Kash.tel is using a user-defined background image that is defined via the DNS and hosted on a Telnic image server. This is a very promising yet curious development.

OK we all know about the new template being used by Telnic staff - ie. http://Kash.tel

Who will be the first to identify the URLs where we can view the 3 design competition winners that are being released ?

Winner 1

Winner 2

Winner 3

Aled made it very clear recently that these 3 new templates (click preview to view full size) are being introduced at the same time.

Or maybe we should just sit tight and get on with some real work !

With Q1 ending this weekend I really hope Telnic don't leave it till Thursday or Friday to release the new template(s), leaving no time for us to try them out and respond with any issues before the weekend arrives - unless of course they plan to keep the developers locked in the office all weekend to ensure any issues are resolved !

With a big change coming like this, to both the desktop and mobile proxies, as well as the CTH, it really needs user involvement from forum members to make sure all the problems are ironed out.

No-one gets everything perfect with a major new software development - which is why I really believe it would have made Telnic's life easier if they had taken up the forum offer to help in the Beta Testing of New Templates

But we are where we are - so a request to Telnic not to release this major change to the .tel infrastructure without allowing several working days following for your staff to deal with any issues arising.

That implies a release on a Monday or Tuesday, assuming your developers are not planning to work Saturday and Sunday.

Monday has gone, today is Tuesday, are they ready for release now to give us time to try them out and your staff respond before Q1 ends this weekend ?

One thing that bothers me with the "new" template eg www.YourBusiness.tel is that no subdomains are showing. I hope this is just Telnic not creating them, as opposed to not supported. SMB must have subdomains for SEO optimization of local long tail search terms.

I can also feel the anxious tension building as we enter the last week of Q1.

Come on guys... try to relax... the templates are coming, with subfolders, and other goodies, There will be pleasant surprises and it will herald a new exciting chapter in the TEL story. Right Aled? :)

Cheers folks!

i hope folks biz models don't rely on these new templates. its best to make do with what there is now and if something new comes along whenever it does that assits what your're trying to do then great, switch over otherwise carry on...

not having a published roadmap means you can't work towards any committed dates as there aren't any such published firm dates, just indictive timelines.

[size]
I agree - some seem to think that the new templates are going to solve all their current issues (monetisation etc) with their .tels - they won't.

They may well look nicer and help persuade newcomers to actually register .tels - but we're not talking about a sudden jump to "critical mass" here.

I think that the option of video is a great idea, and lots of fun, but once the initial novelty has worn off you need to ask yourself this question - "If I add video (with the performance degradation that may imply) will it increase or decrease the chance that my user will undertake the MWA when they visit my .tel ?".

For those unfamiliar with the term, MWA (Most Wanted Action) is what you most want a visitor to your site to do - be that click on an AdSense ad, place an order, link away to another of your sites, etc.

Food for thought - enjoy the new templates - but they won't fix a site that isn't properly designed or thought through in the first place !

[size]
The video as I understand it is limited to the desktop, maybe not ?

In any event, the user always has the option to view, so there's no degradation as a rule.

In addition, I have never seen a Yellow Pages ad or a website with video get old, unless
it is viewed a thousand times by the same person and committed to memory !

There is then always the ability to do new videos as well, just like any fresh content.

YouTube certainly hasn't struggled with the novelty issues, that's for sure !

I think .tel developers will start looking at developing their own proxies - it's actually very easy and allows you to add images, video, and anything else you desire without waiting for Telnic to meet your requirements.

Of course it means to use it you need to specify mydomain.telxx.com (or .net, .info, etc).

Alternative proxies such as http://domains123.tel-4.com can rank well in search engines - and provide a very useful source of free targeted traffic and also link juice to help your web sites listed on your .tel rank high ranker.

All the information needed to embed a .tel within a .com etc is provided by Telnic at http://telnic.org/tools-website-integration.html

Tony, not sure if your video was sourced from YouTube, but if not have you tried using that as your source ?

The reason I ask is that YouTube videos now often include AdSense ads (at the bottom of the video as it's played) - so there should be a monetisation link that can be set up from the video.

It does look promising. As do the links associated with telnames website.
However this cant be the new templates that have been promised surely?
It was after all telnic who launched the competition a year ago (perhaps over that)/mentioned them in the newsletters and not the private venture which has recently been discussed.

I'm not expecting a reply but I would love to know when the templates are going to come out.
I check back every day in the hope it's been announced or included in a cth update but nothing.

Aled, Telnic can you discuss anything? We are now into the first week of the second quarter do you have any updates.

Simon G

04-06-2012 11:25 AM

I'll be active on a few drops if of top quality.
My view on tel domains remains the same: lots of potential for the future and will only be buying what I would possibly hold for up to 2020. While its great to see the videos integrated into tel, the silence surrounding the other developments discussed in the Xmas newsletter is really disappointing. It would have been better to state the difficulties and surprise when something works than to keep making statements prolonging something which obviously can't be produced within a set time span.

Will they be available by June? It's a good question but I won't be expecting anything.

Boracay what do you and every one else think?

boracay.tel

04-06-2012 11:53 AM

Personally, I do not think they will show up by June. ...it's a complete mystery anyway
I'm sitting on a number of .tel domains and I've done nothing with them. They were bought because of the promise of the new templates. I won't touch them without a new look. They are Individual type and the New templates will look much better for these, so I will wait to populate those.

The templates or whatever the plan re .tels new look is very important.
Build it for idevices, speed up the development.
Go with the bulk of what the world is really using.
Isn't the browser world now 100% webkit?
What's taking so long.

04-06-2012 01:37 PM

I think you will find that the situation regarding the new templates will become much clearer following the launch ofhttp://Telnames.tel

I just hope this launch is soon as continued uncertaintly kills investment decisions - particularly when there are attractive alternatives such as .co (see http://www.cointernet.co) and the new gTLDs also looking for investors' dollars.

Quite possible.

And probably the designers themselves did not know exactly how the .tel works.

It is NOT an easy task to design a web/mobile proxy, which is entirely different from traditional web designing, for the .tel domain unless the Architect/Designer has an in-depth knowledge of the .tel technology.

IMHO, Telnic should allow a choice of its own templates PLUS custom templates.
So, this give a chance for anyone to bring his/her own template for his/her own domain.

Otherwise, always there will be a dissatisfied customer.
Telnic can avoid this situation easily.

I'm beginning to wonder if...

...the 3 winning templates from the design competiton are actually near production release after the months of waiting by us all ?

The only "new template" seen around so far is the http://YourBusiness.tel style - and this is NOT a Telnic template (if you look at the "powered by" phrase on the last line) but one belonging to the Telnic spin-off http://Telnames.tel which describes itself as "...the UK based specialist distributor of the award winning .tel domain. Telnames is the trading name for Telnames Limited...".

What is noticeable is that Telnic staff who do not have subdomains on their .tels (eg. Telnames founders http://Kash.tel &http://Fiona.tel) are using this new template, but staff who do have subdomains (http://Henri.tel & http://Justin.tel) are still using the current templates.

It may not be the case, but it's beginning to look like the only new template to surface so far is not designed for subdomain use - but as a single point of contact card for ONE individual or business.

This actually makes commercial sense if you think about it from Telnames point of view - why sell one.tel which is then sub-let by the registrant to 1000 tenants - when you could sell each of the tenants their own .tel and generate 1000 times the revenue.

Hopefully all will be revealed soon so we can stop speculating and build our .tel businesses on a solid foundation - the vagueness that exists at the moment does not encourage software developers and domain investors to "keep the faith".

Come on Telnic and Telnames - TELL ALL - this situation can't continue for much longer !

As I suggested in my post #80 - no subdomains in the templates found by http://goo.gl/DPhpb - even those "reserved for testing purposes".

http://Adrian.tel is particularly interesting - with its promotional discount offer from a "choice of domain registrars".

Be interesting to see how Telnames both manages to sell direct (as made clear by http://Telnames.tel) and keep the retail channel happy !

Have a look at WHOIS of testbeds

As a former developer for an airline, I think that Telnic is being rather unprofessional by using live and readily discoverable Tel domains to view their Telnames tests. Such testing should be done in a test bed using hidden domains with no chance of public discovery... names such as Telnic123.tel or Teltest123.tel rather than the names we've found.

Secondly, and more egregious is the absence of explanation, given the public discussion that is now taking place here on the Telnic forum... leading to all kinds of speculation, much of which is probably causing unnecessary anxiety.

Thirdly, and most annoying is the conspicuous absence of any tests involving the promised 3 templates... while all the test domains (or rather production live domains of Telnic employees) are showcasing a template not even included in the 3 winners. What does this say? It says that Telnic is not focused on delivering what it promised, but is focused on a new direction, which has not even been announced yet, but is clearly a showcase for them.

Not very professional imho. Keep tests away from public eye, keep your promises, and keep your public abreast of what is coming.

It seems unlikely (though we could still be surprised by Telnic) that the promised 3 design competition winning templates will see the light of day now.

Whilst we may be unhappy if this is the case I try to look at the bigger picture - will .tel have a greater number of registrations (and people renewing every year) with a switch in direction now ?

It's clear that .tel was stuck at a 300K plateau and going nowhere - so carrying on doing the same was not a realistic option for Telnic.

I wish http://Telnames.tel the best of luck and when Telnic / Telnames make their plans clear I will decide whether it's worth staying with the .tel project or sell cheaply my .tel portfolio.

I await the Telnic / Telnames announcement with considerable interest.

I don't want to create duplicate data on this forum (in the same way that .tel avoids this by writing data once to the DNS for all to read) so I'll just say click http://telnic.org/forum/showthread.php?p=22036 and you will find out how much the new template fromhttp://Telnames.tel will cost you.

Registrar(s) who will offer new template ?

Many of us are currently making decisions over renewal of .tel domains.

If you renew a domain (at least this is how it works with a .com) there is a period (say 60 or 90 days - you need to look at the small print) within which you lose the year's renewal extension if you transfer to another registrar.

You still get a year's extension, but it's the 1 year covered by the transfer fee (receiving registrar), rather than the 2 years covered by the renewal fee (losing registrar) plus the transfer fee (receiving registrar).

So it would be very helpful if we could know which ICANN-accredited registrar(s) will be offering the new http://YourBusiness.teltemplate ?

We could then transfer ready for the new template rather than renew and then transfer - which would be twice the outlay and a delay of 60/90 days.

It would also get the new template off to a flying start - so a win/win situation IMO !

Although I am not holding my breath, the ideal scenario would be that all new templates would be available soon to all owners. But likely that Telnames will hold them for a while as their "ace in the hole" card.

The Last Telnic staff left on Current Templates ?

Following the switch of http://IanBM.tel to the new Telnames template, AFAIK http://Aled.tel, http://Gareth.tel, http://Henri.tel,http://Huw.tel, http://Justin.tel are the last Telnic staff members left on the current templates.

Presumably this is because they all use folders/subdomains ?

Interesting to know how http://PaulBastian.tel, http://PhilMurray.tel, http://Drive4Life.tel, http://LlwydOwen.tel got onto the new Telnames template - given that they appear to have nothing to do with Telnic / Telnames ?

Telnames would be preselling the idea to others to have domains to present at May launch.

If so, why not "presell" to a few forum members - many on this forum have really excellent .tels that would enhance the Telnames launch !

What better advert for a May launch than to have some forum members, who are already "on-board", showing what can be done with .tel ?

Yes that's a good idea for us to help sell it. But that would require access to their telhosting or wizards or whatever they are hiding behind the veil. I've emailed support@telnames.com three times and only got one response about waiting until the site is live.

For the time being, one can come to his/fer own conclusion based on WHOIS results of above tels.
Perhaps, I suppose, we should get a clearer picture on those tels after 17th May.

More New Template Tels are being added regularly - though many are testing ones.

Emmanuel Chalandon (presumably related to Telnic's Vice Chairman Fabien Chalandon) is a new addition and a potential buyer ofhttp://Boracay.tel if it ever became available !

In view of the number of testing .tels there are it seems pretty clear that AdSense is not being deployed on the new template - I do like the look of the new template but I'm not happy about the absence of AdSense revenue generation if this turns out to be the case !

Have Telnic / Telnames factored in the loss of 1000's of domain transfers (by portfolio holders) to the new template if they fail to provide AdSense ?

Maybe thay don't care about this - assuming there will be enough new registrations not to bother about existing holdings by forum members ?

It would be nice to know where we stand re AdSense and the new template - it's very difficult for forum members to make sound decisions when the future of .tel is so much up in the air !

With the template competition that was run and won so long ago, it showed that .tels could really look fresh and probably were going to have more functionality and there was a timeframe given etc, ...but the roadmap then disappeared. So you wait, for news, to then make decisions about which .tels to drop or develop or purchase because if the look and feel and function of the existing product is possibly about to change, guidance is so important.[/size]
