Well today was the day!
.com, .net, .mobi, .org, .net, .info, .biz, .uk, .de, bz, pro… the list goes on and they all serve a purpose in the “right” environment, but… .tel (yes I like this concept) is different at its core and today became available to the general public at generally acceptable price levels.
I have been following these for a while and aside from the bunch we registered in the Sunrise and Landrush periods, today the floodgates opened and I don’t see them closing anytime soon.
In fact, they shouldn’t!
Now I have heard many thoughts as to why .tel may not “take off” (in the long run) and the truth is there are factors that may hinder its potential, but personally I see great value in this marketing tool.
Leveraged properly, and aside form the “living” business card it can become, the prospect of using it as a hub for landing pages and e-commerce is incredible.
Even if humans take a while to come around, spiders and robots can have a field day!
I have made several posts RE .tel and I will probably be focusing less on them now, but I recommend you consider their power and I welcome your thoughts / comments.
Hey, if anything you can call and ask me directly at demicco.tel (coming soon ;:)
