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…

Garrett SaundryThe amazing illustrator Scot Ritchie gave us a fantastic cartoon to use to advertise .tel to realtors. It shows one realtor with lots of information on his lawn sign and one realtor just using her .tel name on her sign. We are looking for clever captions to use in the advert and are hoping that…
It’s “back to school” time again. But this year there is something new: .TEL. Only a dunce would pass up the opportunity to buy these great “back to school” inspired .TEL names.

As of last week, .TEL reached 200,000 registrations. This milestone was achieved less than two months after general registration started on March 26. For a TLD that isn’t particularly easy to explain, or easy to grasp, .TEL is doing phenomenally well. The concept and potential utility of .TEL resonates with businesses and individuals more than other recently released…
I’m kinda, sorta, maybe in the market to buy a house. As I walk through the neighbourhood admiring other people’s gardens, I stumble upon a house for sale that appeals to me. Sadly, by the time I have arrived home, I have forgotten the address of the house for sale. I could not give you…

Garrett SaundryFor those of you who plan to use .TEL as your primary web presence, or even a secondary one to your business website, consider adding an email account with your .TEL name. We’ve received a lot of great feedback from customers who are actively using their .TEL names to share contact details with friends and…

Congrats – you are a pioneer. It’s going to be a little lonely in the wilderness for the first few weeks but as the old saying goes “if you build it, they will come”. First, you need to put some data in your profile – phone number, web address, facebook link etc. Secondly, start giving…
Many of you have already registered or pre-booked your .TEL domains. Others have heard by now that .TEL is different but are not sure their business needs another domain name. With .TEL General Registration on the horizon, we thought it was important to recap how .TEL is not your average domain. .TEL is not for…
Amy ElderkinMost of us have, at one time or another, dreamed of escaping it all and disappearing to a Caribbean island or a log cabin in the mountains for some peace and tranquility. While this particular dream will elude most of us (and would probably get a little dull after a couple of weeks), those who…

It’s an all European match and it’s still up in the air as to who will come out the victor. There are two contenders from the UK, two from the Netherlands and one from Germany. If it wasn’t for the “first come first served” policy that is in place, I think the book makers would…
Garrett Saundry.TEL domain names won’t be going live until February 3, 2009, but anyone that wants to get a better idea of how .TEL works can get a free trial name through Telnic’s VIP program.
