Blogger ‘Forsaken’ over at Domain Marvelous (www.domainmarvelous.com) has published a great two part post on “Reasons to Register your .Tel Domain”. And based on the feedback she’s received, even experienced domain owners and webmasters have a lot to learn about the new extension.
.Tel is a new way to share all your contact information by giving them your own easy to remember name – like janedoe.tel. It allows you to store, publish and update your information online and is accessible from any Internet enabled device. There is no need for a website with .TEL, and it can act as a communications hub for your business or personal contacts.
It’s nice to see domain investors coming around on the .TEL domain. The perception that a domain name needs always to be linked to website creation is challenged by dot-tel – and likely is one reason why it’s taken longer for the industry to embrace the concept behind the new domain. It’s great to see people catching on to what a great communication tool .TEL will be for businesses and individuals alike.
Here are some of Forsaken’s “Reason’s to Register” your .TEL :

Part Two discusses the advantages of .TEL’s system of storing data directly in the DNS, including:
No website necessary: The contact information stored in the DNS is readily available and efficiently delivered to any device without the need for a website or a webmaster.
Speed: The Domain Name System is optimized for speed. Because it is DNS-based, a .tel lookup takes just a fraction of a second, and is much quicker than loading a typical web page.
Real-Time: Whenever you update your data in the DNS, the change “goes live” immediately.
Improved control: Traditionally, search engines are forced to “read” entire web pages and guess the keywords. The .tel uses the data you supply to the DNS to tell search engines exactly where the keywords are, thereby improving your control over your search results.
