Dropped domains daily list * Hey, Just launched another tool in Mark's Tools toolbox. Check out the list of daily .tel domain drops (beta). It's tool number 6 and it's free for TelMasters members. If it's on the list you can register it. Check it out at www.telmasters.com Cheers, |
That's a great tool. Thanks. Is that 9 pages of just today's drops? 1500 .tels or so. Oh oh |

The daily drops are processed nightly against a list of unrenewed domains. When they actually drop, we publish them. The list will increase daily as new drops are appended. Adding a browse feature for convenience. Mark[/size] |
Mark, the new drops shown in the drop's list at Telmasters are mixed between the old drops, or they are in the end/beginning of the list? |

They are sorted alphabetically, I suppose you'd like to have it similar to daily regs, by day. Will see how soon that can be done. Mark[/size] |

Dropped domains tool has been updated. There is a sort option and first letter browser. No dates are provided, but the domains listed first are the most recently dropped. The list is updated nightly and as time permits, we will start editing the content to remove obvious junk. Domains that have been bought are not updated until the next day.

At what time do .tels drop? |
Quote:
I run an application during the day, two-stage process so usually the names of the dropped tel domains are available in the late evening EST or by next day. Mark[/size] |
Isn't there an exact time the drop starts? Like .com starts at 2PM EST. |
The vast majority of unrenewed tel domains have not yet dropped. What dropped so far seems to be those that the registrars have special permission to drop. If you are waiting on a domain from March 2009 to drop, don't expect to see that happening until end of May through mid-June. Mark |
Hmm, I thought I read recently on a Telegraph newsletter Telnic was reporting increased registrations, but now I'm wondering what the real drop rate is going to be. Mass exodus or minor ripple. |

Hmmmmmmmm That does not look good, not what I was hoping to see. I still like .tel and always will despite what others may think or say. In regards of .tel becomming massive, im not so sure anymore and everything has really quietened down. not just in this forum but everywhere. I have given up trying to convince friends, and clients to go with a .tel because they just don't get it and not sure they want to. I will keep my .tel domains and hopefully one day they will be worth a goldmine. However trying to get people to advertise on them for me is just a losing battle and also eats into my money on marketing ect. Who knows one day as believers may all be rewarded Regards Gav |
Hello, i would be happy if one looks at .tel more of a usage then just an element of investment. i am using my .tel in daily life and to be frank it coming up good on both aspects of easily remembered as well as SEO. i feel one should try to use .tel as much as they can to learn new tricks with it rather then just follow the old trend of creating plenty of subdomains without knowing what to do with them. anyways good luck to everyone including my self but even if .tel comes in less demand i will always keep some of mine for SEO and easy to reach contact Card Shahid |
Gav, I think many share your feelings. Pretty deflating. Best of luck to all |
Looks like a great chart ! http://www.registrarstats.com/Public...px?TLDName=TEL "House Cleaning" and "Correction" would be the terms if it were any good stock IPO ! The first year is a great one on that basis. Here's Google's: http://static.businessinsider.com/~~...ecc305027957bb The ball is in Telnic's court now ! |
I'd agree. The ball is in Telnic's court and there are challenges. The one glaring thing about .Tel today, they haven't hit a home run in the mobile phone market. Sure there are best efforts, nice changes, service additions, but we're a long way from the average person picking up their cell phone and dialing a .Tel. My present perspective, if Telnic does everything right, 20 years to market saturation. Perhaps 5 years for a significant deployment if they catch a few breaks. |
Its funny really. I was sitting here this morning and coming to the same conclusion. I dont fault Telnic. They have brought a great technology to the table. The problem for me was that I got caught up in all of the hype on this board and in my own brain. I bought into the "phonebook of the internet" and that simply is not going to happen any time soon. |

The best new products, new technology, new wines take time to develop. .tel is the best new tld out there, getting caught up in it is part of what will eventually make it a must have for everone. 5 years from now, .tel will be as familiar as iPone, and Google and .com are now, and those in it from the start will be the ones who benefit most. Telnic have more to lose than all of us put together, as long as they continue promote and develop, I for one will do the same. The Claret I bought 5 years ago, tastes so much better now, and sells for a lot more.[/size] |
I never held any other perspective. Look at how long .com took to emerge into a "household appliance". I do have to say I expected the irrelavace of the domain extension to happen sooner, and still think this will happen. It's largely why I became involved with .Tel, it's a technology solution, not just another domain. It is possible at various stages in .Tel growth to profit from these domains, but the right Telnic moves are cornerstone to this possibility. |
