Of course not everyone is going to take to .tel immediately, but it’s interesting to see what people are doing with their .tel domains…
We’ve got our main brand up and running with a .tel domain. If you explore it you will see how we’ve setup separate sections for our UK and US clients for example. We will, naturally, be adding more links and contact data over the next while.
But what of our clients? What we do with a .tel isn’t that relevant. What is relevant is seeing how our clients take the .tel concept and make it their own.
So here’s a couple of examples (bear in mind that we have zero control over how the data is presented or what is presented):
So far most of the .tel domains I’ve seen are either personal or business ie. I’m yet to see anyone running with the portal type idea, though I’m sure it will come in time
Of course the real power of .tel only really starts to kickin when you start actively using it with your existing devices and software. You can get some software to play around with directly from the TelNic site where they have provided software / plugins for:
- Outlook
- iPhone
- Windows Mobile
- Blackberry
Unfortunately there isn’t anything available for OSX at the moment, but I’m sure someone will produce something before too long …
If you want to play around with a .tel then grab one now – we’re doing them for a mere EUR15 / year ex-vat
