The (.) tel extension has been branded as "twitter 2.0" by some in the industry, and it's here to stay. Now's your chance to register some top quality (.)tel names. It may surprise you to know that not all good single (.)tel names are yet registered especially in the "ology" or "gist/s" sector. The potential resell value of these can be quite enormous like archaeology.tel or archaeologists.tel as there are numerous Universities and similar organizations worldwide that could possibly bid for this type of domain Here's an extract from my personal (.)tel portfolio, oncologists.tel Medical specialists involved with the treatment of tumors, cancer. pathologists.tel Medical personnel who study the cause and development of disease and diagnose a particular disease or illness. Most are involved in the science of genetics or forensic pathology. sociologists.tel People trained in the science of social behavior of people. Some famous sociologists are Vilfredo Pareto, Ferdinand Tönnies, Karl Marx to name a few. Karl Marx was the first to observe what he called the inferior and superior complex amongst children as they develop their self esteem and leadership skills. paleontology.tel and paleontologists.tel The science of and experts of prehistoric animals and events. (eg qualified dinosaur hunters and fossil experts are paleontologists. ) genealogists.tel Professionals in this field study historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family tree (background) to accuracy persevere recent history. lapidary.tel The science or trade in gem cutting, sculpturing (eg diamond cutters and polishers are lapidists) mineralogists.tel They are trained with the knowledge of Earth Science focusing on rock chemistry, crystal structure, and physical/optical properties of minerals petrology.tel and petrologists.tel A specific field of mineralogy utilizing chemical analysis to describe the composition and texture of rocks. Today's petrologists incorporate the principles of geochemistry and geophysics and though this can determine the presence of oil or gas and/or some other mineral commodity. There are still plenty of "ology" or "gist/s" yet to be registered though some of these are not as commonly known as some mentioned above. I think in the long run it is wise to invest in the "gist/s" instead of "gist" as the plural has a broader meaning and reach to many experts in any given department within a University or independent organization. This I feel will attract more bidding interest amongst the global academic community. So happy hunting and feel free to showcase your (.)tel domains here. here's a couple of recent auctioned examples from Sedo, ohio.tel $1000,00 still running*est time left 3.5 days lesbian.tel $1000,00 SOLD!

It might be possible to sell a text ad or two via a bridging page which maybe needed to support all the countries that support such scientific departments in their respected national universities. I think these generic scientific terms may adopt a lot of good (.)org's (.)edu's and possibly (.)gov links if the sites are presented with the right relevant information, giving them possibility a pr 6 or even pr7 ranking. I also think that there will be a lot of natural traffic as these names are fundamental in science and the sites will provide publicly available names and numbers for the various departments associated with the domains name genre. This in the long run should maximize their virtual equity value which is where most of the (.)tel monetization resides Here's a few more I found and registered: epidemiology.tel toxicologists.tel neurologists.tel microbiologists.tel immunologists.tel hematologists.tel climatology.tel meteorologists.tel ____________________________________________________ ROOFIS
When you got these nice .tel domains? In Landrush period? Most single word domains are already gone. I found one gateways.tel
As stated in the opening passage a lot of "ology" and "gist/s" type domain names are still available to register. It may surprise you to know that I just registered the second lot about a hour ago the first group less than a day ago, so do yourself a favor and start (.)tel gold hunting!~ ROOFIS
Hiya I just like to add that Im the owner of lesbian.tel and sad to say that it didnt sell on sedo, it ended up being a none payer. Jag
Hey nice to meet you sorry to here that I think that the publicity about your domain in itself may get you a future bid, here's hoping~. I'm wondering if sex.tel (Alexa 554,859) will ever hit the resellers market. If it did it may set the bench mark for a means of comparison between (.)com and (.)tel tld aftermarket values. I think sex.asia sold for about $75,000 lets hope that the (.)tel market picks up in the near future! I've set up guitarists.tel and will develop it as a free listing public internet phone book for guitar suppliers, course's and guitarists wanting to advertise their presence to the world ROOFIS
IMHO launching of dot tel will hardly herald a boom. There are far too many of such extensions. The first few that came out for eg, biz,info etc does excite me a little. But as more and more start coming out. It seems more of a waste of money getting them.
I still prefer the word that without s coz it more easy to remember. And i also agreed that there are a lot of domain extension out there. I already spent more than $10000+ alone to get my company domain name.
So far I have not heard a word about .tel domains since open registration day. I have very little faith that it will be going anywhere. I bought only one, it's the exact word of my local county. I thought about selling permanent listings for local businesses, but I don't know if it's really worth the effort.
New things of .tel are keep coming out , Like nice search engine Jepaa.com. See this thread about it.
About Jepaa.com Yeah it looks like a great (.)tel search engine I found by site guitarist,tel under the keyword 'guitars' Though finding the language converter box was at first difficult as the sites set in German by default, Apart from that I hope it takes off and gets some traffic to mine and other (.)tel sites!~ ROOFIS
