Already through the sunrise and landrush periods and promoting itself with sexy ads on YouTube, .tel is now available to the public and at a more "affordable" price at around $14.95. I like many are a little skeptical about all its search engine capabilities, but yes, I too, bought a .tel like the others that drank the Kool-aid and jumped on board March 24th.
I acquired my .tel name, but had no idea how to enter the content. I had received confirmation emails that I had registered my domain, but no instructions or link to assist in adding content to the name. Last Sunday, I was saved by another blogger in the domainer space, Andrew Allemann of the Domain Name Wire. Here you can read his instructions on how to content your .tel.Without them I would have been stuck to the picture slideshow that the registry, telnic.org, has for promotion, which did not help me at all.
For those of you already on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the like, setting up the profile in .tel is pretty easy. And if you are not yet ready to broadcast all of your contact information, you are able to make some information public and other private. I chose to only leave my work contact info and website, but personal email and mobile private. I still want to disconnect from all this social chatter at some point.
Interestingly enough some online marketing bloggers are also taking notice in this .tel trend as shown in www.travelmarketing101.travel
Will you .tel? Will .tellow pages take over?
