Are we back on track? I must admit that my very sour .tel mood of the prior weeks is quite a bit better today. My missing sites that fell from grace at Google are on the mend and Telnic hires a marketing manager as well. I can only see these as very encouraging events. To think that there is a person at Telnic that is charged with marketing them is pretty cool. I am curious to hear from the others that had become disenchanted in the prior weeks. |
We all have experience fatigue along the way. I feel excited about the introduction of apps that will integrate more with .tel and create a CRM / IVR mash-up. New telhosting panel integration with apps, telads, and telpages will be appreciated. Do we need to form a collective to finally achieve a platform for this integration (telmasters apps, for instance)? How could the integration of email and telads will additional abilities like twitter integration be accessible on the telhosting platform? That will help generate more use of the domains, for sure. |
Thank you to Telmasters for the daily dropped list. That being said, is anyone concerned about the over 200 .tels being dropped each day? |
Not worried since the new additions are usually higher. 600+ yesterday, over 2,500 last week. Mark |
did you look at what is getting dropped? some of the grab happy namers really didn't get much worth renewing. i'm more excited with the introduction of more tools from telmasters, like the rss feed! i've put a few on http://hometours.tel to include twitter feeds from animoto and others, and on http://mobile-commerce-daily.mobicommerce.tel/ to include rss for news. I am most pleased at how the feed used my http://dotco.tel to point to the videos on http://dotco.tv - just what I've been wanting! |
Yes we are |

http://www.hosterstats.com/DomainNameCounts2010.php Shows the latest .tel numbers. Seems like we are treading water. The marketing push surely needs to come, but I'm left wondering what now to push. A .tel business card has not taken off in any meaningful numbers. And a .tel directory is very limited with the restrictive current offering. But marketing is the next big push. Hope the mix is right.[/size] |
A marketing push will certainly be appreciated. |
We seem to have hit another long lull in the action. No new blog posts since June, no new feature realeases, no new press releases since the OpenAuth. I have said it before that I realise I am not very patient but geez, what is the plan? |
The lull is just reality. There is no traction for .tel because it's pretty much panting it's last breath. I put up the 'test the pulse' post re: the wordpress plug-in and not even a peep. Telnic hasn't responded to anything I've sent them, either. It was a great idea 10 years ago. Today it's not needed and apparently not wanted either. |
dotteler Give telnic a chance I get the feeling they are busy I'd prefer they reply to messages when they have something to provide. The did say they would provide instructions when they could. The newsletter is due to come out, the blogs are waiting to be updated. I may be wrong but could this be a calm before the storm. I cant see telnic investing all the money and waiting 10 years purely to roll over after a year and a half and because its not working. They have been the most innovative registry yet and because of that the have to be the most proactive. |

huh? If it hadn't been about a YEAR since I've been asking the same thing. I guess getting into .tel if you're not a programmer wasn't that wise.[/size] |
