.TEL a Domainers Extension or Not?

After seeing several blog posts and much discussion on twitter the past few days about .TEL I thought it was time to run a poll on if .TEL is a domainers extension. My personal thought are that .TEL is not really a domain investors extension due to lack of monetization options. I have spent quite a few brain cycles on trying to find reasons to invest in .TEL and have pretty much concluded that I will not be.

That said, there are always people that will find a way to be profitable off new extensions, it will not be the majority but the minority that finds a way, and I believe that will be even more so the case with .TEL.

Vote in the poll to the right to show where you stand on .TEL.

Rather than repeat all the various commentary here are a few other blogs that have commented on .TEL this week:

    Well put, the .tel could end up becoming great for an ebusiness card but I can not see everyone registering and selling the names to end users unless you have some really great names.

    I am sinning again. Just registered three nice “gamers” domains:

    Frag.tel
    L33T.tel
    Pwned.tel

    There is room for use for a lot of words. At http://telsucks.com I started posting the daily LLL.tel count, seems to be dipping every day. Oh and if you are a .tel “lover” just go to http://telrules :D
