dotteler – dot tel domains

Telnic Limited (www.telnic.org), the registry operator for the new communications-focused .tel top level domain (TLD), today announced that it had released TelStats, its free web traffic measurement service for owners of .tel domains, in beta.

“As .tel domains are not traditional web pages, until now it has not been possible to measure web traffic of a .tel domain,” said Henri Asseily, CTO and Chief Strategist at Telnic, “With the release of TelStats, .tel owners can now add the understanding of who is visiting them over the web as well as how they choose to contact them through the .tel.”

The new TelStats service, accessible from https://telstats.nic.tel enables .tel domain owners to access information on web visits to their .tel domains and import the data into their favourite analytics tools. .tel information has been logged since May 27th onwards and will be stored on a daily basis moving forward.

.tel owners can log in using the TelFriends credentials (gained from http://telfriends.tel) associated with the relevant domain to prevent unauthorized access and then select a period of time to measure. The system will retrieve all the .tel domain names associated with the TelFriends account, providing a log for one, multiple, or all .tel domains.

Analysis can be performed at times of days as well as over longer periods of time. The service is provided as with other Telnic offerings using open source code, enabling .tel owners to call the log script programmatically and feed it into their own front-end solutions.

The current version of the service is in beta, and logs are provided in the standard Apache log format that can be parsed by any web log analyzer to display the data graphically. The list of popular web analyzer tools is on wiki page referenced from the web form. These logs do not include traffic to the domain from Telnic and third-party applications looking up information directly in the DNS.

Telnic Limited (www.telnic.org), the registry operator for the new communications focused .tel top level domain (TLD), today announced that, as well as being able to view .tel domains in 11 languages on the web, customers can now also manage their .tel domains in those languages from today.

With well over 200,000 .tel domains registered since General Availability on March 24th customers from all over the world have been benefitting from the .tel domain. Languages now supported include English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

“Kebab shops in Algiers and dermatologists in New York through to hotels in Vietnam have all been happily using .tel domains, but we’re very pleased to be able to open the .tel domain up to many more people around the world,” said Justin Hayward, Communications Director at Telnic Limited. “The .tel is a revolution in simplifying and lowering the cost of publishing on the internet under an individual’s own space and we want to remove as many barriers for as many people to take advantage of this as possible.”

User guides have also be translated in conjunction with the control panel, access to which is supplied to .tel registrants through ICANN accredited registrars or .tel service providers. To view the control panel and guides in the language of their choice, users can simply change the settings on their browsers.

We were the first to notice that the potential of TEL-Domains is much greater than that of any other recently launched TLD!

Almost every day new tools are being presented to expand these possibilities. The .tel domain already even has its own search engine, Jepaa.com, which provides only .tel-page results.

The Swiss company Movetec behind Jepaa and other innovation projects around .tel now presents TEL-MACHINE.com with various useful functions available outside your registrar’s environment. More exciting tools are under development.

You can now use the following functions:

For each of these functions will be available soon, further information and instructions

Oleg Baskakov is a Java Developer living in Moscow, Russia. He has rich experience in a wide range of software development projects, including development of the mobile client-server platform for social network Gorod Znakomstv (“City of dating”) at Nikita, through to an SMS-delivery system in a MFM Solutions start-up, as well as working on the reporting systems for BNP Paribas bank whilst at software consulting company Neoflex.

He is currently working for premier Russian digital agency Actis Wunderman. However, Oleg is also the person behind bigcity.tel, an innovative .tel domain that automatically updates weather and activity information about big cities around the world.

“Many people remember the computer culture of demo-making in the 90s – a peculiar atmosphere of searching for creative solutions and developing impossible things, driving on the maximum of computer resources. Today, assembler code and byte optimization algorithms have lost their relevance, but in their time they opened new horizons for creative technology. Telnic has demonstrated this type of creativity by making an extraordinary present to all progressive people. Yes, I’m talking about .tel – an innovative take on traditional technologies. The .tel creates a multitude of possibilities for cutting-edge software which, in my opinion, have started a portable revolution in the domain industry.”

“When I first heard about .tel, I didn’t think it was particularly revolutionary, but the spherical image of the .tel logo hypnotized me! I couldn’t resist this power and fell into learning about .tel and its technical specifications. I was soon impressed by the domain’s capabilities and a fire of new ideas on how to leverage .tel blew up my mind, to the extent that I froze my current project for Google Andriod and switched on to .tel.”

“The main objective as I see it of a .tel domain is as a useful management of contact information, but the potential provided by this platform is much greater. bigcity.tel has been planned to expose some of that potential and show everybody how .tel domain owners might develop these opportunities. Sometimes I need certain information about weather and upcoming concerts, but have no computer access.” Read more…

What do people see when they find you online? You can control how you appear in Google by creating a personal profile… and people will see it on their results page when they do web searches for your name.

A Google profile is simply how you present yourself on Google products to other Google users. It allows you to control how you appear on Google and tell others a bit more about who you are. With a Google profile, you can easily share your web content on one central location. You can include, for example, links to your blog, online photos, and other profiles such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. You have control over what others see. Your profile won’t display any private information unless you’ve explicitly added it.

You can also allow people to find you more easily by enabling your profile to be searched by your name. Simply set your existing profile to show your full name publicly.

If you’ve been writing reviews on Google Maps, creating articles on Google Knol, sharing Google Reader items, or adding books to your Google Book Search library, you may already have a profile.

Samuel Voet, internet entrepreneur from Belgium is the creator and owner of cancel.tel, a free but invaluable service for people who have to cancel their credit cards. Extremely accessible from a simple word over mobile devices, cancel.tel enables people to quickly navigate to the right credit card company and click to communicate with them – a fantastically simple solution to an emotionally-charged action no one likes to perform.

“At first when .tel launched I was looking for interesting names and while trying to understand what .tel could be used for and what it was all about I registered a few names. Some are very good and will find their usage in the future. Cancel.tel is something different. I didn’t even register that name during the first day of .tel going public, but when I noticed it after a few days for some reason it caught my attention.

“People use their phones to take care of business, so then I tried to find a link between the domain cancel.tel and how this could be used in a good way with the .tel platform. I am convinced that .tel has a lot of power and could mean something important in the age of mobile telephones. Of course, you have the directory-style applications on things like realestate.tel and phonebook.tel, and it allows a great form of branding for companies and celebrities. If .tel becomes more important in the future it will have a significant amount of value for people and companies. Cancel.tel is a bit different from all those things. It doesn’t promote anything, but I decided to turn it into a service instead. Read more…
