There is a lot of hand wringing in the domainer community about when .tel will really take off. The future is now people. If not one other person ever purchased a .tel name, it would not matter. You have and it’s a fabulous utility. You just have to start using it. I have my personal .tel name…

We love dot tel and we want everyone to learn about it. To that end we made a short, 15 second commercial that is now airing on the Shaw TV Listings channel (2) in Vancouver. For those of you who don’t live in Vancouver or have chucked your TV because there is nothing on, (why…

In June, we gave all of our email users access to Pronto, our new webmail interface. We were pretty excited about its collaboration features and wanted to see what you thought about them too. After 3 months we sent out a survey to a select group of Pronto users. Here are the results: You liked…

Sure – we can all get fergusjones.tel or maryp.tel and people will remember them but you might want to consider being unforgettable. Keep Fergus and Mary as your professional .tel name. For your personal name, you want to dazzle the person you are giving it do. Maryp.tel versus tornado.tel – there really is no competition.…

We loved our dot tel 411 and Locksmith videos and now we have 3 more videos to love. Telregistrations.com is laying down the dot tel video gauntlet with these fantastic, animated advertisements. The videos illustrate the usefulness of a dot tel for everyone. The music is great as is the “Charlie Brown’s teacher” voiceovers. A co-worker…

Do you know that I have missed parties because I am not on Facebook?! I don’t get the invite and nobody thinks to email me or, heaven forbid, pick up the phone and call me to tell me about it. If people are spending their time working and connecting within Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc., is…

We have a steady number of people downloading Hornet, our free Blackberry .tel address book. We could not have gotten the volume if the app had not been featured on some of the Blackberry blogs. Rimarkable.com is sending us a lot of traffic (such a clever name) and hot on their heels are: blackberryrocks.com, blackberryblast.com, blackberry-fr.com,…

Is your website ready for the mobile phone?

Posted on July 16, 2009July 4, 2016 by

There are a few reasons why “there’s an app for that” will be the expression du jour when talking about mobile phones and the internet. Websites that have Flash elements are very slow to render on flash enabled phones such as the Motorola Razr and in the mobile phone world, time actually is money. Even…

You are: a Personal Trainer, or a Fashion Stylist, or a Ghost Writer, or an ESL tutor, or a Lion Tamer…. And the list goes on. You don’t really need a website. For the most part you get word of mouth referrals. But what if your business is slowing what with the new crappy economy…
