Development Unless you get a carrier to adapt .tel it needs to look better. We know you are aware of it but the new templates really really take time. Dont bother so much with IE 6 compability. If it looks boring on IE6-7 who cares. They are not driving any sale. Dont bother trying to get the look exactly right with those. As stated here before. If a client ask you about your web presence you dont want them to see your .tel it just looks to boring and geeky. You give them your .com. There they will find your phone number. Its a boring entrance when you want to impress people. If the new design was complicated to implement. Why not simply allow people to have a huge image behind the .tel. Or simply a huge image with a call me button in the center. That would do it. Simple and cool. It has to be easy to upload an image. Avarage Joe will not do so, if he have to find a service for this. 2. I still think each category should be able to have a image as suggested before. This would make directories much nicer. As of now. Not many want to show their .tel to other since it looks to boring. =No sales. You are really good at the tech but, until people get that its smart, they will see it as a geeky domain and that is not what drives sales. |

Very good summary of the situation Spline, .tel has got to be seen by "Joe Public" as a desirable thing to have in addition to your mobile phone. There needs to be a mass marketing campaign, celebrity endorsement, product placement in TV/Films, presence at sporting events, automatic inclusion with each new mobile phone contract, etc, etc. Until the average person wants .tel, and sees it as a cool addition to their smartphone ownership experience, there is a distinct danger that .tel will fail to reach critical mass and gradually decline. If this happens software developers will lose interest, domain investors will dump .tels in their tens of thousands, and .tel will end up being "the best internet development that never happened". I've been one of the strongest exponents of .tel, but Telnic please give us some news to convince us that after 2.5 years .tel is on it's way to hit mainstream before it's too late. Time really is of the essence now ! Mike Seaton[/size] |
Mike You have been here long enough to know that you will not get a response to this. Ask about how a feature works and you get a reply in 2 minutes. Ask about the direction of .tel and its complete silence. Question the silence and you get banned for a week. Just my experience |
