Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned!

Posted by Acro in Business, Domains on March 26th, 2009

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been one day since my last .tel registration.

Today I received the news from my CPA about how much I’ll have to pay in taxes this year. It will be much less than what I expected; just a partial “scalping” and not a full one.

My CPA is a great guy, well-educated and professional, able to tap into the resources offered by his industry – he’s always staying on top of new events and developments with regards to taxation and asset management.

His web site, unfortunately, is hosted at the domain name of his daughter – also a CPA – which also happens to be her rather obscure (German) first name. To top it off, it’s a .net

I thought about it and found a legitimate use for this – then went ahead and registered his easy to pronounce last name in .tel. I think he will be pleasantly surprised – once telhosting.name.com begins to resolve in order to manage it, as a quick pointer to the actual domain.

How many “hail Mary’s” will that be, Father?

    I bought my name and a couple other specific cities to point to Geo sites of mine but really cannot bring myself to be a believer in .tel. Tried to figure out a reason to believe but cannot for the life of me.

    Bruce, there are a lot of afterthoughts from the TelNic guys. Pitching .tel to MySpace users? Please…the MySpace crowd is used to multimedia overload, not white open spaces that exist on .tel vcards.

    Physician, heal thyself! Sorry…still on that minister kick.

    Adam, wanna swap minister for breweries? :D

    I just got telremorse.com. Couldn’t bring myself to get .tel. (See what I mean?)

    Acro and I should team up. telsucks.com and telremorse.com together? Fugeddahboutit!

    no offense to the .tel’ers, but .tel is outta here. I could be wrong but in my opinion I see no potential in this extension at all.
