*throws dice* "come on mobile tel wallet, daddy needs a new pair of pants" *throws a 0* "how the!?" "Fuuuuuuuuuuuu", sure any site can have folders and what not but tel needs to have something unique aka build more on those DNS features and we need to work on its community to build up interest around it by small tech people who tinker.
.
Right now I'm wondering why after telnic all ready had the "login" popup for telfriends why is it so hard to reuse that code to have a popup recaptcha for links we want to make sure is only visited by people, like files on FTP where we don't show the indexed location but want to still share it or the PDF at telnames so we know it's only people reading it and machines are blocked! like in the case of resumes that you want to be sure aren't indexed or pulled for distribution by some scraper PDF bot site. Unless you don't mind your work history etc being pulled for distribution all over the Internet so it's not marketed to just anyone that likely ends up being used to do fraud in your name/address etc. I'd prefer to give it out if it was just people who visit my tel via link or referral, while they can still do fraud in my name it's mitigates a lot of random problems if it's only people who visit rather than machines indexing it as "PDF resume" for peoples fraud searches.
.
Telnic could add so much stuff but still keep it simple and blow these sites out the water though they'll never truly do that as they're free sites or somewhat cheaper but telnic could round off it's offering package so it's got that unique DNS thing doing some fabulous and crazy out there stuff that appeals to businesses and people. So if telnames raised the price again I'd expect a dongle (mass made in china) thing with every domain I buy that allows me to import and export data automatically to the DNS which should only cost a few pence or so to make. "Get your telname and a free DNS data dongle" what does it really cost to make a DNS data dongle?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_protection_dongle is it so hard to make a smaller and cheaper
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi type thing with one port that allows me to connect to a range of devices that I can program to convert into DNS "store as text" language (via a wifi/bluetooth or just direct connect to router port on it) aka goes between router port and use regular networking cables to import data through it..
.
I'm not going to make one as I don't know where to start but I know it was telnics hope it would be used to store many things from devices, so why not put a bit of money to one side for research and development? so they can offer it to new signups like other services give you a "care package" shouldn't we not get that plus a few extra things in the post?
.
I think the term is promotional stuff for people who all ready paid so they use it and advertise to people who haven't, pens are cheap to buy in bulk! many charities give pens when asking for donations as I'm sure they figure it mitigates the excuse of not having a pen right there and then to fill the form in as later people would forget. But that pen gets used after and with a logo on it people notice and that builds recognition via indirect mouth to mouth advertising as it's saying you donated or supported that service and that's even if you didn't and kept the pen someone thinks you did and might do themselves..
.
So promotional care package:
- Branded Telnames advice "pocket size booklet"
- Branded Telnames pens
- Etc anything that's cheap to throw in (probably mass produced in china) but builds up a usability package to get people talking about telnames, like someone sees your using a telnames branded pen, someones going to ask "whats telnames", because you might not have mentioned that to the person you have one but it jogs the memory and starts conversations and that leads to further sales via implied or stated endorsement.
