Innovating with dot-tel and managing your dot-tel for the purpose of monetizing it is a challenge that is not suited for the closed-minded or those who are stubborn in their ways. The best dot-tel applications will be services that no one had even conceived until dot-tel surfaced. Dot-tel has the ability to create innovations by forcing people to think differently, innovations that would not have happened without dot-tel. If you are not a creative developer you definitely do NOT want to buy a dot-tel domain.
Dot-tel is not meant to be “yet another TLD”. If that is what you are looking for, you won’t find it in a dot-tel. Dot-tel provides a service that is new to the Internet and makes use of the network in a previously unexplored way. This new way does not rely on any one platform to serve it’s purpose. Dot-tel domains are meant to build upon what exists today on the Internet and also for what will come in the future.
If you are an innovator, you shouldn’t buy A dot-tel domain, as in one. You’re probably going to want more than one. And you might not want JUST the dot-tel domain. You might want to put some sort of web-based interaction with your dot-tel domains, so if you do, a complimentary dot-com wouldn’t hurt. You could manage your dot-tel empire from a different location if you wanted to though. Maybe your own server, maybe your desktop or maybe even from your palmtop. Dot-tel offers the potential for all of these possibilities and more. But if you would rather stick strictly to web sites, then definitely don’t buy a dot-tel.
The elegance of dot-tel is freedom from the burdens imposed by other “standard” technologies. If your dot-tel based service can benefit from a web-based interface, then you can build it. If your dot-tel application is never to see the light of the World Wide Web, then you have no need for web servers, browsers, scripts, etc. Dot-tel gives you freedom to create and build anything you want using the Internet as your data store, delivery system and hub. Those who access your dot-tel can access it anyway they want, from their desktop, laptop, palmtop, settop, etc.
Dot-tel is meant to foster the creation of services rather than creating another slew of parked pages that don’t really accomplish much for surfers beyond redirecting them. You can’t park dot-tel domains so you are forced to actually use them. Whether that use be for building a directory or something else, at least when a surfer goes to a dot-tel directory, they will get lean, relevant information.
As a dot-tel developer you are taking on the challenge of developing a domain that serves a specific purpose. Using a dot-tel address, relevant information can be organized consistently and delivered in a way that is globally accessible and truly platform independent. If you can’t see the usefulness in this, then please, DON’T BUY A DOT-TEL DOMAIN.
Making Dot-Tel the Next BIG Winner
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009Telsters may be sold on the idea of this gigantic and universal directory but there are skeptics who are doubtful about the potential of this domain extension. So how do we make dot-tel the next big winner in the domain industry? It really isn’t that difficult to make this extension the next big news to create headlines. What is needed is just a few big hits and dot-tel is ready to soar.
Dot-Tel for the Youth
The youngsters are the biggest trendsetters of all times. Hey how did the Beatles get to become rich and famous back in the 60’s? How did Britney Spears or Beyonce get to be the next big thing in the music industry? How did MySpace and FaceBook became an Internet giant? Do you remember how Pizza Hut or Kentucky Fried Chicken gained worldwide popularity? What about the success that Starbucks enjoys? Do you see the trend here? If dot-tel can become the next “cool”: thing, then this domain extension will be the next big winner. The marketing efforts of this domain extension would ideally target towards this group.
Support from Wireless Companies
If the various wireless companies and the big names in the industry would facilitate the use of this domain extension though wireless browsing of dot-tel domains through the network, it would help a lot in establishing dot-tel as a viable and acceptable standard for communication. Obviously the wireless companies must be able to reap a substantial reward form this trend to be able to invest in the development of this domain extension. An endorsement from iPhone and/or Blackberry would be a major boost to help increase the acceptance and popularity of this domain extension.
Unique Services
This is the time for telsters to let the creative energies ruin wild. If new and unique services that have never been seen before are introduced using dot-tel domains, the next big hit telsters have been waiting for could occur. This is especially true if these services are only made possible through the dot-tel platform and virtually impossible with other top level domains. It would mean the ultimate breakthrough telsters are anxious to see. As more and more people jump onto the dot tel bandwagon, the creative nature of these collective minds will soon come up with a dazzling new idea that will take the domain industry by storm.
Waiting for the next big break can be a rather passive thing to do for telsters worldwide. Being a part of the change is a more proactive approach to meet this new challenge head on. Rather than waiting for someone else to discover the next big thing to hit the industry, why not be the one who creates the next revolution with a totally new and awesome service. Like anything brand new, Dot-tel has the potential to be the next big winner.
