You obviously own domains with the objective of making money from them one way or the other. Even if you give information away for free, chances are you are going to be making money somewhere else depending on your business model, unless you want to go under. Some online directories are free and some are not free. Finally, the cynicism regarding .tel is somewhat like .TV, yet a lot of .TV sites flourish! Ultimate prosperity comes through diversity and not one size fits all as you appear to be alluding to. Chris,

The problem is those (domainers) who like .tel want to be able to make money from it one way or another and that's not going to happen and not because "I don't get" but because information wants to be free and so it shall remain. The reason why wikipedia is successful. .tel's business plan was wrong to begin with and should never have let people buy them like domains. Domainers don't get it.

It is not about design at all, it is about quick delivery of information, it is a communication center, not a website with images and all sorts flying off the wall! What makes google the leader is not design, it is simplicity to extract the information you require and thats' why yahoo and msn are so boring!!! the same exellence can be said about wikipedia, very simple with the encyclopedia info you require on the fly! even if its not all that accurate. All that text is why most wikipedia enteries have a PR1 or 2 on google. So again no one will give a toss about design as long as Manhattan.tel delivers on providing appropriate listings making it easy for anyone to click to call or click to view a webpage etc... That is why your local yellow pages may be in the final death rows like their newspaper buddies! Andrew, you are simply wrong and missing the point of what .Tel is supposed to be.

Flexibility is design, layout, etc. At that point you could do the same thing on any other domain extension. Robert, but you’ll still lack flexibility.

But it’s not very flexible. Directories are powered by flexible and customizable database-powered directory software. It seems like a lot of manual work on a .tel." Andrew, so what you're saying is a resounding yes that .Tel could potentially be a directory once its databased powered right? Well I have'nt looked into their API applications just yet, however I would anticipate they will slip in site search tools going forward. But that technicality is besides the big picture. I've noticed how easy it is to list any client, once you have created all your category fields, which is actually not difficult at all! The bottom line is, can you get clients who would want to list in any directory? Geo .Tels should have a very strong USP considering ease of navigation through any device, particularly Cell Phones which every one now has...and that's the strong selling point imo, that potentially canabilizes typical web directories. Imagine Manhattan.Tel done very well, with seamless click to call any business in manhattan from your mobile....thats powerfull, and that's why all those geos have been quietly scooped up by cunning domainers! “@ Robert – sure, it could potentially be a directory.

I'm going to go and get listed in best of the web and see what happens with a new domain. Again thanks, J.R. Great information.
