The “land rush” for the .tel domain names has begun. Here is what Wikipedia said about the .tel domain name: “However, after the short period of legitimate registrations restricted to trademark holders only (the “Sunrise” period[6]), anyone willing to pay a premium price will be allowed to buy any domain name (the “Landrush” period[7]) regardless of who owns the trademark.
Furthermore, during “General Availability”[8] anyone will be able to register any name (assuming that it is available for registration) without paying the premium price.
In actual practice, .tel domain names will be no different than most domains except for price (most domain names cost around $10.00 per year) and proprietary control, except for the fact that .tel owners will not be charged for ongoing hosting fees and will not need to build or maintain a website in order to be discoverable on the Web under their own domain name.
The information held under the .tel domain will be no more accurate or trustworthy than any other data held in the DNS system. It will be down to individual .tel owners to choose what they wish to store there.”

I’m still a bit fuzzy about exactly what I bought in terms of the difference of what the .tel domain structure can offer but as soon as I find out, I’ll let you know. I bought my name…www.nans.tel. Who knows, it may replace my phone number! Ha!

There are generations between the age of the Queen of England and the United States President. One thing for sure, the age difference was brought to light today when the young Barack Obama gave the mature Queen of England an iPod. According to Jake Tapper of ABC, the iPod included a variety of different things including Obama’s speeches and her photos.

Rumor has it that the Obama’s are MAC people and quite hip on the latest in technology. Obama more than likely had his Blackberry on his hip when he or his team members handed over to the Queen or her team members the Apple iPod.

We can all learn something from this event. Young and old can meet together. The young can share with the older. The older can share with the younger. The youth of one can offer something of possible interest to an older person. The older person can be of influence to the younger.

This can be used in business as well. Live outside the box just be careful and don’t overstep. There is a thin line. You decide.

How in the world do they figure these things out? I cannot even explain what happened with the iphone so I’m going to refer to you Nilay’s blog about it.

Some people are just smart!
