Remodeling the Dot Tel domain concept?

2011-03-14T01:01:00.001-07:00

If the restrictions for .Tel Domains would be removed, then they would be the "better Dot Com's" for mobile telephone Internet usage.

Furthermore, if Dot Tel domains can offer something, that Dot Com domains can't offer on a mobile phone, than Dot Tel domains would be in more favorable position.

Extensions can`t change, but restrictions can be removed, anytime.

Hardly anybody would mind to pay the hosting for a Dot Tel domain, if they had the same freedom as with a Dot Com domain. At the end, they would have the better domain extension for mobile Internet on smart phones. As people would know, that a Dot Tel domain, is like any other domain, and that it offers the same navigation possibilities.

Users used to register a Dot Mobi, only because of its extension: Because they intended to use the domain for smart phones with Internet.

The .Tel registry is doing the same thing: Offering a domain for smart phones with Internet, but with restrictions.
However, the .Tel registry is providing a control panel, for populating the domain.
It was supposed to be a no-brainer, but the friending feature was too complecated, as well as few other things.

Why not deliver a mobile friendly template, without any restrictions? And leave the hosting to the registrars?

As soon as the only difference between domains, is the extension, Dot Tel will win over the other domain extensions, for smart phone usage.

The existing dot tel concept seems to be somewhat outdated. It might of worked well, eight or ten years ago, when it was created.

Dot Tel domains are lacking exitement. And users are used to Dot Com websites.
It is difficult to sell something that is less attractive.

The biggest advantage of the Dot Tel domain, is that it is "low cost" for the domain holder / owner. And users don't know, that using it, would be also "low cost" for them. And so, users other from the .Tel owners, don't care about the costs for Dot Tel domains. They just see a weird and boring page, with some contact information on it, and a penedrant and annoying Dot Tel logo. And say, that the design looks more like a domain parking page.

The easiest and more successful thing would be, to lift all restrictions, and tel(l) the world, that Dot Tel domains are for smart phone usage. Full stop.
And everyone would "get" that, and people would start registering .Tel's, and populating them by a webdesigner, or by themselfs.

Who would care, to have to pay hosting and a webdesigner, if they get a powerfull and efficient mobile website at the end, having a fantastic domain extension (.tel)?

The ten year old Dot Tel concept needs some rethinking and remodeling. Time for change. You can't expect a ten year old concept to be successful, ten years later.

If a Internet domain does not offer more than a landing page and a folder tree, and contact information, than it should be much less expensive... Somewhere around $03,00 (tree Dollars).

Provide a person with a Dot Com address, and he knows, what to do with it.
Provide a person with a Dot Tel address, and he does not know what to do with it.

If every new smart phone had a Dot Tel search engine as default, then everybody would know, what to do with Dot Tel domains.

If Dot Tel domains would be easyer to mobilize, and offer as much freedom as Dot Com domains, then that would be clearly an advantage for the Dot Tel domains.

Ok, I think I said enough, and now it is up to you, to "thinktank" and brainstorm.

The really biggest advantage of .Tel domains, is the fact, that one can set up a mobile friendly Internet domain within a few hours (ok, you say, within a few minutes..), and which is ideal for QR-Code usage (Quick Response Code usage). Because, if you want to sell something spontaniously, and fast, you can set up a mobile friendly .Tel domain, and encode it as a QR-Code (you generate a code from a website URL, for example), and print the code and display it, where smart phone owners can scann it (and click to decode it), and then interact with you and your offer.

Speed, is what matters, and you can act fast, with a .Tel domain, a QR-Code generator, and a QR-Code reader. This sort of interaction, one can only achieve with mobile websites. And Dot Tel is already "out of the box" mobile. No need for a webmaster and a webdesigner, there. And the "no need", would be a time saver and advantage, in connection with QR-Code usage. Again: Time saving matters.

Cheers.

Dot Tel domains: Review.

2011-03-12T06:34:00.001-08:00

First of all, I heartily thank Bill, for his fantastic blog „DOT TEL DOMAINS BLOG“, at http://dottel.blogspot.com/.

I agree with many of his statements, especially, about the .tel domain registry Telnic. And I can hear a lot of disappointment within his comments.

How good is the communication between Telnic and the holders of .tel domains?: The call for a professional webdesigner for the Dot Tel interface and look, had never been realized.

Bill put the question, once again, if one should renew or drop the .tel domains, and he tends to not renew most of them, due to his „uncertain future for .tel“ vision. Bills comments are easy to follow and understand, according to common sense. However, investors should aim a long term strategy of about five years, and then make a decision to drop the .tel domains, or not. If you don't think in long terms, you are not investing. Neither are you investing, if you are not taking financial risks.

Besides all the improvements for the look and the promotion of .Tel that could have been done, but haven't been done, and after ca. two years, since online, .Tel is clearly underestimated, undervalued, and hardly, or not understood. The Dot Tel domain is a Internet landing page for contact and business information, and a lot more. The domain works partly „out of the box“, and can be, on the other part, configured, with a bit of nitty gritty work, to a efficient SEO booster, and a domain that gets found in Internet.

I doubt that any .tel domain with an good name is a waste of money, if used and kept up to date.

Dot Tel domains are here to stay. The key is public education, but which hasn't taken place on a grand scale.

The monitary system is not favorable for long term investments: It depends strongly on short term profits. Every one thinking, they could make short term profits with .tel domains, must give up those expectations. The value of a domain, is not the value in form of money, that you can cash in, at a given time. With time, certain domains get sought after, by a few people, who know what they could do with them. Offer them, where there is competition from other bidders: At an live auction.

If we drop a .tel domain, or sell it under value, we lose in the long term, but save expenses in the short term: So what do you prefer, and what can you afford?

Even Dot Biz and Dot Mobi will become established and accepted by a wider audience. The are late comers, same as Dot Tel.

Now, imagine, you could just buy a domain, without having to renenew it every year...: No droped domains, would be the result.

Now imagine, Dot Tel's would cost only $5 instead of $10 (http://www.name.com/ price): The result would be....: Less droped domains. Both szenarios sound like fair deals.

For a reseller, or for a domainer with a large portfolio, the domain prices are probably too high, for uncertain long term investments: Why don't the domain registries take such a fact into account, with non-established domain creations?

The decisions are always based on financial thoughts and related to current market prices.
Basically, a good domain name and ranking, has nothing to do with money. And money shouldn't spoil the success, potential and fun.

As I once pointet out: The domain extension ".tel", is probably the best of all existing domain extension, by just looking at the extension itself. And no other existing domain name extension suits better for mobile phone computing.

People have never asked, what sense the domain name extension ".com" makes: But ".com" just got accepted and established with time, by the masses. ".com" could either mean "communication", "commerce", "company", "computing", whatever.

With ".tel", I think, people can't easily make the bridge from Internet domain to telephone, respectively, why should a website URL have a extension, that reminds you of "tel-ephone"?

As soon as Internet and the smart phone become a natural related thing, there might be a run after anything, that eases mobile communication. Inclusive "Dot Tel" domains.

If the couple "Internet" and "smart phone" is no no-brainer yet to mainstream, why should the Dot Tel registry Telnic make much effort to educate mainstream about Dot Tel?
Looking at it that way, and in that aspect, you couldn't blame Telnic, for beeing as passive, as it has been, up and till now. Telnic is not bigh enough, to take such a finacial risk, as such promotion would not just cost one million Dollars, but at least five or ten million Dollars.

By just having a lot of "drops" (droped .tel domains), the financial losses, are still kept at the smallest possible. And financial recovery is possible, anytime, within reasonable time.

Therefore, Telnic is far, from "missing the boat". And all chances are fully intact.

Dot Tel, will pick up, with time. And it will be the overall development in the world of mobile communication, that will decide about the success of the Dot Tel domain.

Of course, and nevertheless, Telnic should change a few things now, at present, and not postpone those. You might be able to say, what that should be. But I am not quite sure.

I think the registry, as well as the domain holders, are a bit overextended. And decisions and actions taken, on both sides, are either taken too carefully, or too hastily, but neither appropriate.

So, who is to blame?: I think, the basic problem are high costs for calling and surfing on a smart mobile phone, which hinders mainstream owners of mobile phones, to access the Internet from their mobile phones, or access Internet, more often. Roaming costs, or still far too expensive.
And people don't know, that .Tel pages the sites that can be viewed at the lowest cost.

When mobile Internet gets generally more mainstream, then that is when Telnic should start making some serious efforts with promoting .Tel, and spending some important amount of money for promotion. I assume, that Telnic does have a successful strategy, even if it doesn't really look that way.

All in all, domaining with heavyweight in the mobile telecommunicaion field, and expecting to make some tidy earnings, and some serious money, is nothing more than a poker game.

Dot Tel domains, are usefull, now, but for for getting tidy earnings through advertising or selling, it is far too early. But you should nevertheless learn all about .Tel, and how to improve and populate a .Tel domain. Because when things take off, you should be ready, and even better: Already established with your .Tel's.

Think twice, befor your intend to drop your Dot Tel domain(s). Act fast, to get a Dot Tel name, as long as it is still available.

Don't forget, that the future of Internet, is in mobile computing, mobile Internet, mobile phones, and mobile websites. Desktop PC's are being replaced by mobile laptops with an aditional bigger external monitor, so that they can be used at home, as well as away from home. And soon, you will be able to interact (more) between your stored data on your smart phone, and your laptop. Let us say, you scan info on the go, with your smart phone, and download it to your laptop.

And so, why will you wan't to give up a good mobile Internet address, if things are developing so promissing?

How it works:

What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional code that is readable by your mobile smartphone. When you scan a QR code with a QR code reader app it will automatically open a related link on your phone’s web browser. Every QR code has it’s own link.

That’s very cool but what can I do with them?
We will create a sub-domain for you, and upload a QR-Code of your item description to the header-icon field.
QR codes give sellers a way to sell their online items in the offline world. Sellers can click on the QR code in their listing to print it out. Then, if you’re selling one of your items in a store, flea, or other physical location, you can put the printed QR code next to the item.
Potential buyers can scan the QR code and be taken right to the item’s www.annunci.tel listing. Since your listing contains more information on the item, it’s very useful for a buyer to see. They can purchase the item, or save the listing for later. It’s just another great way to sell your items.
If you want, you can give it a try with your smartphone on any listing. Just enlarge a QR code on a listing, aim the reader app at it and see what happens!

Do you want to sell an item on annunci.tel?:
Send us your item description with requested price and your contact email, to the following email address:
annuncitel@gmail.com

We will list your item, together with the related QR-Code, that we will generate.

The monetary system is basically a game, where a lot of fraud is involved.

2011-01-14T20:38:00.000-08:00

The monetary system is unfriendly for people with low income.

The more money you are able to earn, the friendlier it gets for you.

Market prices are unsocial, as they don't relate to an average income, or incomes of working poors.

Market prices rise, according to artificial created shortage of goods (and perhaps a few services).

These sort of shortages are unsocial, and more. But accepted.

The rise in prices, create problems for the consumer, and which about the producers, manufacturers and sellers don't seem to care.

You are a constant marionette of these price making tactics.

The only power you have, as a consumer, is to refuse to buy goods and services.

The power of the consumers is greater, than the vendors and manufacturers, because there are more consumers "in the game".

Google for "monetary system", and learn.

Figure out, how you can have a better live, within our systems, and be fair to other people.

The monetary system, today, is so bad: It has been designed by fraudulent bankers, and is screaming for reformation. That it doesn't work, you know your self.

Shortage of goods, must not have to be, but happens all the time..., just to make more money.

Conclusion, for you:
Because the monetary system works with scarce service offers, you can make money by offering services that are strong in demand.

Example: Mobile phone services (web sites, software, QR-Code help, etc.)

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

The Vertical Axis Wind-Power Turbine ( VAWT ) is a new product designed . We started the research on VAWT 15 years ago. Now many of the famous experts the world wide have accepted such new technology and this technology will definitely lead the development of the small and middle size wind-power turbines. Following are the detail features of such VAWT:

Safe in operation:

Due to the usage of the vertical blade and the force support is of triangle form, the wind force will mainly press on the wheel. So the blades will not be able to fall down, to be broken or to be thrown far away.

Noise:

The way of the turning of the blades is of horizontal and the design of the blade is of the scheme of the wing of the air-plane, so in operation the VAWT will not make any noise.

Capacity of wind resistance:

Due to the advantage of the design of the VAWT, the press force the turbine suffered is minimized and as the result such VAWT can stand on the extra strong typhoon of 45 m/s.

Space requirement:

It needs much smaller working space than other kinds of wind-power turbines. Thus not only saves the space, but also aises the working efficiency.

Power curve:

It needs lower wind speed for its starting and the increasing of the power is slow and stable. So its production capacity is 10-30% higher than other kinds of turbines.

Scope of the wind power needed:

Due to the adoption of the new control system, this VAWT is suitable to be used in the wind speed scope from 2.0 25 m/s.. It means we can get full use of the wind source and producing more power economically.

Brake system:

This VAWT is equipped with both the automatic brake system and the handle brake system. The handle brake system can meet the needs to brake the equipment in the area where there is no typhoon and the extra strong wind.

Maintenance:

The turbine of the VAWT is of direct driven permanent magnetic system, without using the gear box.

QR Codes - How Will You Drive Awareness? A Local Case Study

2011-01-09T06:48:00.000-08:00

I was walking through DuPont Circle in Washinton DC last week. I stumbled upon Axis Salon. I was so intrigued by the glass storefront that I had to hang up the phone and stare. The salon front was COVERED in QR codes!!!

Storefront

Close-up of shop name:

Instructions to download: (they recommend 3GVision's i-nigma)

They should be telling consumers more about what phones are compatible, probably. There should probably be more instructions, but at least they OFFER instructions.

Scan the code ... link to a Web site with a coupon.

It's pretty basic, but very effective. They must have a lot of people asking. It's certainly driving buzz - I mentioned it to a couple of people I met in DC, and they knew about it. Partial instructions available. Lack of compatibility with most phones ... maybe an issue, but those who don't know about 2D codes are probably also less likely to ask. Fun.

Thank you so much, QR-Codes (Part 2)

2011-01-07T16:26:00.001-08:00

Looking at the early days of Dot Tel promotion, I remember such things, as:

--> Single first names (Ben, Henry, Justin, Emma, etc.)

This is not really addressing maintream. And I hadn't seen any proper mainstream endeavours, so far, elswhere, from the registry.

Perhaps, the „small businesses approach“ or:

--> „Smalco“ and „Largco“ (or Larco?)

should of been an attempt to go mainstream?
But that didn't work. Some small businesses discovered .Tel without any promo from the registry. Because they „got it“.

And so, in the past, there was simply nothing done, for a „mainstream Dot Tel domain“. Nothing at all.

And which is actually a shame, and where the registry had badly failed to „go for it“.

For the first time, there is a chance to bring .Tel mainstream, because QR-Codes are showing up, on the horizon.

These codes work with mainstream, as already proven during ten years in Japan. If... you educate mainstream. But which was done. And done good.
Seems, that not one company had failed, in that environment, because consumers where quickly educated, and codes where quickly adopted, by advertisers, and then by consumers.

Switzerland, seems to be greatest QR-Code evangelist and adopter, after Japan, if you look outside of Asia.

But the biggest players „on their way“, seem to be America, the United Kingdom, and maybe France. America is speeding up, by educating online, in the way of an „OpenSource spirit“, à la Linux community.

And by the way: The .Tel community is comparable with the Linux community, from the aspect of community spirit and OpenSource development by users of .Tel.

The QR-Code points to Dot Tel domains. With hardly any effort made.

It used to be: „Dial my name“ („Ben“), followed by a „.tel“ suffix. But no one did that, except a young lady in a video commercial. And that was it.

Tomorrow, it will be: „Scan my .Tel domain“. Yes, people with mobile phones will get that message. No question.

QR-Codes are so mainstream. If you want to go mainstream with a product, than you will the QR-Code a shot, if you are not ignorant, or dumb. Has any company admitted, that they had ever acted ignorant or dumb? No, and that is why a lot of them failed. Admitting a failure or mistake, or wrong business strategy, etc., shows that you are strong, and that you have character, are a self learner, and a leader.

Small businesses had adopted .Tel, for example, because they are more flexible than large companies, and are able to make decisions much faster, and in a „short cut way“, without too many directors able to hinder a good idea to become fruitful.

Till big companies will be using .Tel, small companies will be already using them for a few years.

The QR-Code, is a direct and short way, to reach mainstream: Just give them QR-Codes of Dot Tel Domains, and if they know, what to do with such codes, then they will proceed in the same way, with any QR-Code.
And no company will be discriminated. Any code of any company that gets scanned, already has the attention from the consumer, and is therefore a potential customer for the provider of the code.

The „sit and wait, and see“ attitude, would not work this time, with QR-Codes. This would perhaps even kill your company, if you think you can remain in the same degree of passiveness.

No: Action is needed. You must get active. And better now.

This is about business, and if you don't get the potential of QR-Codes, after a while, I can't help you.

Not using QR-Codes, would be like trying not to use money in business, as a form of payment. Because money is part of our system, and QR-Codes will become part of our system to. They will make the world keeping go around.

When some other problems seem to hinder economy, than some new ways to proceed, can bring some balance, and let us bypass whatever other problem, so that cash keeps flowing.

Thank you, so much, QR-Codes.

Transportation in Lausanne? Go Public. Part I.

2011-01-07T04:04:00.000-08:00

Things to Do, Travel Tips — By Sonja Holverson on August 25, 2010 at 5:19 pm

Even though 49% of the residents of greater Lausanne, Switzerland drive, those who are going to the city center still have the option of leaving their car in the several Park and Ride lots in outlying areas as well as at the port of Ouchy and then taking the bus (in French it’s “P+R” which to them is “Le parking relais”).

"Le Parking relais"

After all, it is not easy to find parking in a 12^th century city like Lausanne with narrow streets, many pedestrian areas and few possibilities to create underground parking garages where there are now wine cellars and who knows what else from centuries past.

Many modes of public transportation are available in greater Lausanne which can be purchased in a single ticket or pass of various durations and combinations. There are small commuter boats, larger boats, paddle steamer boats, large buses, electric tramways, shuttle buses, taxis (some with ski racks), small trains, regular trains and 2 perpendicular (precisely east-west, north-south) metro lines (one of which is a new high speed automated 4-mile long metro that goes nearly straight up from the shores of Lake Geneva to the top of the city limits with an altitude gain of 984 feet! More on that coming in Part II).

Considering the hills (steep) and the valleys (narrow) of Lausanne, it is not difficult to appreciate having a public transportation system that is comprehensive, efficient and always on time. The foundation of the system which is named TL transport Lausanne (“Transports publics de la region lausannoise”) is the electric tramway – one of the first electric streetcar systems in Europe (1896) since the “Lausannoises” were too soft hearted to force their horses to pull large carriages uphill. That same electric tramway system is still paramount today in Lausanne and is constantly improving. It is affectionately known here as “le trolley”. I lived in Lausanne 10 years without ever driving (I have lots of carbon footprint credits) and nearly always arrived in advance of my gas guzzling friends regardless of the meeting point because the tramways oftentimes have their own lanes on the busy streets. Even living out of town now, I can still hike to a tram stop when going into Lausanne in order to avoid the traffic and near impossibility of parking (even some garages close at night and your car may still be there! Read the hours before entering if you must park).

TL Transports publics: around the clock

There is an enormous amount of information about the entire system on the TL website including real time bus schedules and traffic problems, routes, zones (there are many!), tariffs (there are a lot of these also!). These days even Lost and Found is online. I used to have to go to Place St. Francois and look through the boxes of single black leather gloves (it’s amazing how they are all different and my missing glove was never there).

Although most of the TL website is in French there is one page in English with pdf links which gives a lot of general information on traveling around using all of the TL system in Lausanne. However, the following are some good pointers to get you started riding around this delightful Swiss city with confidence on “le trolley”.

Follow the Signs
You can always recognize the nearest tramway stop (usually benches in a roof covered shelter) as there will be a TL sign with the bus stop name and a bus number (or numbers) and a symbol of a bus. You will also find the systems map posted (with zones and transfer points) as well as the time table for the trams stopping there and a payment kiosk.

Place St. Francois is the hub of the tramway system in the center of Lausanne which eventually (and very timely) connects with all the other modes of transportation to some far reaching outlying areas.

Note the tram stop name and different line numbers on the roof

Place St. Francois is also the most confusing tramway stop(s) for first riders. Look at the transportation map located at all individual stops at St. Francois to find the bus number you want and then look for that number posted on the roof of one of the tram stops or on a sign and stand there. Since there are several tram stop places on both sides of the street at St. Francois, you also need to know which direction you need to go. The advantage of the St. Francois and some of the larger tramways stops, is that there are monitors that tell you when the next bus of each tram line is arriving. Sometimes there is more than one bus line to get you where you’re going and you can save time.

The best approach to using the tramways in Lausanne is to plan ahead, especially if you are going to change trams.

“Le Trolley”: the final destination on the front and side.

Ask the front desk, concierge, or your friends or people at a bus stop (they might surprise you and speak English). There is also an Infoline: 0900 564 900 (CHF -.86/min) that may be able to give you specific instructions for your journey of the day visiting Lausanne.

Point to point is fairly simple (if you get the direction right which is the name of the last stop on that line that appears on the front and side of the tram).

Sample TL systems map for the heart of Lausanne

The image above covers just the center of Lausanne. Online you can find a more comprehensive map with changeable size and specific location details. So now hear this. I’m coming straight out with it; the systems map is complicated because the public transportation system is extensive in Lausanne despite its moderate size, and unless you really know the city, you will need some help if you have to transfer. But when you look at that systems map, remember that (hilly) Lausanne streets are on many levels and you really need 3D glasses to visualize it correctly. I still encounter challenges when looking for transfer points on the map that are, in fact, at the same altitude!

In addition to the name and number of the tramway line posted on the roof of the tram stop, look for the bus symbol that is posted along side. If it has a hand across it, then you must wave down the bus. If there is no hand, it means the tram stops there regularly.

If you see this sign, flag down the Tram.

Although tramways and other buses are very frequent (usually every 6-10 minutes) there are times when tramway lines operate more frequently during rush hour (and for school times) or less frequently during other times of the day or on weekends, especially Sunday which is family day in Switzerland (the assumption is that you should be home with your family including tramway drivers). Sometimes there is a slow down during the vacation period the end of July to mid august. Therefore, you should check the schedules carefully for the day you are traveling around Lausanne.

If you are going to spend some time riding around in Lausanne you may want to download a cell phone application from TL (just need a camera and web access) that will read a bar code at the tramway stop and tell you in real time when the bus will arrive.

"Le QR code”. Scan for real time arrival information.

Ticket to Ride
Be sure to buy your ticket before you board the tram. You can usually board at any door (the front door is for people with special needs). Although the Lausanne tramways use the honor system and the driver does not check your ticket, there are occasional “controls” and it’s cash-on-the-spot-expensive if you’re without one. If you end up out in a rural zone, sometimes you must buy the ticket from the driver if there is no kiosk.

There are 100s of payment plans for all situations, number of zones, discounts for age, length of travel time, number of days, special ½ price (on 100s of other plans) for qualified residents, as well as various combination unlimited usage cards with other transportation companies, etc. Do not bother trying to understand the tariff online. It’s incomprehensible. If your hotel cannot help you, ask the tourist office (at Ouchy or the Lausanne Train station). Depending on your needs and situation, you may qualify for a discount or special offer that they may be having in conjunction with visiting Lausanne at that time.

When all else fails, if you don’t go too far out of the city limits, you’re most likely in zone 11 (a dozen zones are posted) and you can buy an adult ticket for CHF 2.60 which is good to go anywhere in that zone for one hour. You can see that this can add up quickly. There is also an unlimited all day card which is, at the moment, CHF 7.60. Both of these can be purchased at all tramways stops in the city with kiosks with cash (basically for tourists, only cash, unless you bank at the Swiss Post Office). However, some of the bigger tram stops in the city have digital kiosks now that take international credit cards. If you don’t want to carry cash and will do a considerable amount of tram traveling, you can also buy a Galaxy card for either CHF 20 or CHF 50 that you can use in the kiosk for purchasing individual tickets on the entire TL system.

Taking the Tram
It is important that you have something to hold on to in the tram if you’re standing because besides sometimes jerking, these trams go up and down steep hills and you and your things (like your children) could go flying.

When it rains, the trams tend to steam up so sit or stand where you can you see the monitor up front with the names of the stops (always know the name of the stop just before you want to get off so you can prepare without disturbing people or missing your stop. The stops are not always close to each other and you may find yourself walking a great distance back to the one you wanted.

Tramways and buses do not always stop unless you push the button usually near the door in advance. There are special buttons to push to indicate to the driver if you need wheelchair, stroller or bicycle assistance to be implemented.

Tram Etiquette

Don’t put your bags on a seat so no one will sit there (that might be a local’s “special” place even if there are other seats!). But if you must, remove your things when the bus is full and put them on the floor and stand with them so they don’t fly around. Many local people have non-paper permanent shopping bags, carts and baskets which won’t fall apart due to a wet floor in the tram. I have found that the floor will only be wet if I’m carrying paper bags.

Don’t take a seat on a crowded bus if you’re only going 1 stop unless you absolutely must sit.

Don’t have loud conversations on the tram unless you are under 16.

Don’t get angry if you run to the tram, push the door button and the tram still pulls away. The driver is obliged to leave as the system has probably already been put into motion and it takes too long to close it down and start over. That’s why the trams are always on time: with or without you!

Do wait for special needs passengers (bicycles, strollers, etc) to get off before getting on.

Do help people with strollers get off the bus.

Do leave the front seats empty for fragile passengers that enter the front of the tram.

Do work your way to the exit when your stop is coming up to avoid chaos in trying to get out (sometimes that’s not easy to do, especially on a steep hill or curvy street so hang on if you can).

Do call 0800 805 805 in advance for a “Taxibus Matin” to pick you up at the nearest bus stop to your lodging if you need to go to the center of Lausanne as early as 4:45 AM when the trams are not yet operating (only CHF 4 supplement on your regular TL ticket)

Do call 0800 805 805 in advance for a “Taxibus Nuit” if you are near certain city center tram stops after midnight when the tramway system closes and get a ride to the nearest bus stop at your place of lodging (only CHF 4 supplement on your regular TL tickets).

Do take the “Pyjama Bus” especially scheduled for clubbers in the wee hours of the morning Friday to Sunday who have imbibed a bit more than the legal driving limit of alcohol (which is nearly 0). There are 30 departures from the hot spots heart of Lausanne to more than 80 communes in the region. No excuse for driving and it’s only CHF 2 plus the regular bus tariff to pay.

Do thank the city of Lausanne for making it possible to never have to rent a car and to think of you even when their tram system is closed by offering you around the clock reasonable public transportation.

Türler is one of the few remaining privately owned businesses in the watch and jewelry trade, and stands out with more than 120 years of experience in the domains of watches, jewelry, and precious stones.

It is a desire that dates back to the origins of humankind: to adorn oneself, to give a gift that counts, to evoke emotions. Since time immemorial, jewelry has been a mirror image of the philosophies of life and of the lifestyles of every culture. In the last millennium, in the early 13th century, mankind discovered a new type of ornament, a marvelously mechanical one which was not only decorative but also capable of structuring the course of a day: the timekeeping instrument. Today, timepieces and jewelry are part of our very nature. The reasons people have for acquiring, possessing, and giving watches and jewelry as gifts to loved ones have remained unchanged. The mission of Türler has remained unchanged as well: we live and breathe the culture of watches and jewelry - and that is the foundation of our credibility.

There is a lot to think about Quick Response Codes and mobile marketing.

2010-12-31T17:56:00.000-08:00

You have got a mobile web site (the registry calls ist a page).
Your web site has content: web content.
The content, you could print on paper, each sub-domain, too.
However, that information is stored under your domain name. It is the web content for that name.
You can share your web site, by publishing or sending its web link.
The link fetches the content on the web, so can view it.
An other method of sharing a domain name, is to display a code that can be read, and will so provide the domain name, as well.

Basically, a code shows a piece of text:
An URL
An email address
A phone number
A SMS
A document
Or any other piece of text message.

Code = Text

You get your code for your web site or contact information, if you generate one, by entering the text into a Code Generator, and selecting URL, email, phone, SMS, Text (other), etc.

If you happen to enter an URL, you have the possibility to shorten it by using an URL shortener, such as for example „bit.ly“.
And that is highly recommended, because shortened URLs produce/generate slimmer and smaller codes.

By displaying a Quick Response Code (QR-Code), you are doing nothing else, as displaying an invitation to view your text, web site, or contact information.
People wont know, what they can expect, if you only display a code without any added information about the code. A short and informative description next to the code, will enable the person to either want to scan your code, or to ignore it.

Scanning QR-Codes make sense, because it is easyer to scan a code than a web link, or a whole document/page of text.

You see, here, that you can not only share contact information, or text messages and documents, but als just a web link.

By sharing a web link, you can promote your web site.
Now, if the scanner, which is a smart phone, can als imediatly display the web site, then you can discover and surf the new web site „on the go“.

And so: this is ideal for promoting a mobile web site.

Shortening an URL, and generating a code for that shortened URL, is a no-brainer.
But the other question is: where would you like to display your code?
And how big should it be, so that it is scanable from where the scaner will most likely take it / snap it. But let us leave that question for an other time...

So, you see: your web site can be found offline, by people who are „on the go“. And it can be viewed „on the go“, as well, for example in any public transportation (taxi, tram, bus, train, etc.).

If you want to promote your web site, this way, and you want to show your Dot Tel domain, than you should probably have an other mobile website, as well, and make your .Tel domain your landing page.

It may make sense, to display a .Tel domain, in form of a code, because it can be viewed as business card with contact information, or as a directory (guide or e-commerce, etc.).

Imagine, you only want to do a cheap and quick experiment, and finally do see, that your .Tel domain is ranked high in Google Search. Then you will want to leave it there, and use it as your online landing page, for visitors and customers, and just update the landing page, with your new or updated main mobile friendly web site.

I think, that the Dot Tel domain would be ideal for such an experiment, because it is inexpensive, compared with a complex and heavy web site, and it can be set up online, within an hour, or a few hours.

Dot Tel, is ideal for beginners and non techies. You can get a great sense of achievement, and be successful, that way.

I think it was important to clarify, and to point out, what we are exactly doing with QR-Codes: People are scanning, and then reading the informatin we provide and want to be seen.
Instead of handing out hundrets of flyers, we can just provide one code at one location, for everybody to be seen/discovered.

The whole thinktaking about QR-Codes and mobile marketing, should be within those facts.

I reapeat:

Code = Text.

and

Text can be turned into code.

You have to be lucky, to have someone who sees your code, and who is familiar with scanning QR-Codes.

But the next thing will be, to convince him, that he can benefit from scanning and reading your code (= text information).

I think, that the most important thin, at this stage, is to get some experience by experimenting with chosing text to be replaced by codes, and then to display the codes.

The first response to your code, is a person scanning the code.
The second response to your code, might be the person contacting you, by using your contact information on your mobile site. And where else can you do it easyer and nicer than on a Dot Tel domain? It is there, where simplicity, cost and time saving begins, with a .Tel.

It might be worth, having an eye on how the print media uses Quick Response Codes: There is always a lot of text, or a big stilish photograph, and the code, is just signaling, that there is some (more) information, that can be read about whatever the advert is about.

The other method with QR-Codes, is to use them online, and put them on your blog, or buy some advert space on some other blog or web site. This is also very promissing, because scanning codes from adverts in page size, happen about 50% from brochures and documents or flyers, and 50% from web sites / blogs.

At the end of the day, you might want to know, how many scans you got offline, and how many you got online: There are tracking services for QR-Code, respectively for tagging.

Figure out a concept, method and strategy. Learn by doing experiments. And improve the ways you proceed. That is how you will outperform your competitors and win more customers.

It is about providing text information, and you can do that, by

Distributing flyers (print media. going to web media, viewed on a mobile phone)
Displaying posters and billboards (print media, going to web media, viewed on a mobile phone)
Displaying and sharing web links (web media)
Displaying and sharing Quick Response Codes on stickers (print media, going to web media, viewed on a mobile phone)
Displaying and sharing Quick Response Codes on blogs (web media, viewed on a mobile phone)

The paper business card, with your code on it, may only reach the one person, you hand it out to...

The web media, is your destination. But if promoting a mobile web site: where other than through a mobile phone, can be seen, if your mobile web site is cool, easy to navigate, and informative, form a mobile phone perspective?

I can only say: thinktank, thinktank, thinktank, brainstorm.

Your code only says "Can Me!", but what are you: A URL, a email address, a piece of text, a document? And why should I scan your code? What are the benefits and the output? Make it clear. Invite and advertize. Give them something for which they will also remember you, and return to you or your site. Find out, if people are scanning your code, and how often, etc.
Get feedback and stats, and more. Yes, some tidy revenue, at some time.

A note and New Year greetings from Alexander Schiesser MacLeod

Hello there,

Here is your Blogger, Alexander. Pheeewww...! Goodness, me! ....:
Now I know quite a lot about the Dot Tel domain, and about QR codes: Both once a mystery.
And now? What next, my friend? However, a lof of dottelers haven't done their home work properly:
--> poor mobile web content
--> poor design
--> boring contact information
--> no marketing, no branding
Oh, boy. And now we have just discovered the QR-Code. And are able to assume that it has huge potential for marketing mobile web sites. Or just, mobile web content.
Well, finish off your projects, and then get the printer ready, to print cards, flyers, posters, stickers, and so on. If you do not know, what a "QR-Code Generator" is, then go surf my blogs. Dummy!... But don't forget to always shorten your URL, before you put it into the code generator, for receiving a code for that URL.

Get familiar with the full potential of .tel domains, and the "world of "Quick Response" codes, respectively, of mobile tagging.

Cheers, and happy New Year!

Alexander

有機茶

あなたは有機コーヒーを買うとき...それは本当に有機か？

あなたはどのようにそれが本物を見ることを確認することができる"有機"と表示されてお茶のパッケージを拾うはいつですか？一つには、有機として製品を証明するいくつかの政府非政府機関があります。

有機農業運動（IFOAM）および米国農務省（USDA）の国際連盟のような組織は、それぞれの要件を満たす特定の茶畑と証明書を発行の成長プラクティスを確認することを認定プログラムを持っています。

パッケージ化された有機醸造ので、証明機関の基準を満たすと認められる機関のラベルがついているとお茶を探す必要があります。

お茶は本当に有機かどうかを何よりも、しかし、あなたを教えてあなたの味覚芽に依存する必要があります。これは、複雑な風味と微妙な料理が並ぶの味覚芽をくすぐるする必要があります。

それはすばらしいされていない場合は、それはおそらく有機されていません。あなたので、何も最高のショートを受け入れるこのお茶のためのプレミアムを支払っている。

有機が生産、お茶に含まれ、非有機のブランドより、通常より高価です。何が誤って自分のお茶は、単により良い価格を得るために"有機"表示から不謹慎なお茶のベンダーを停止するか？

有機茶とは何ですか？

有機の品種は、化学農薬や化学肥料を使用せずに栽培されています。土壌は、自然堆肥と濃縮され、それが分解し、余分な栄養素を提供しながら、マルチの層が水分を保持しています。

この成長法は、より労働集約的であるが、優れた品質のお茶を生成します。中国、日本、台湾の茶大会は一貫してそのクラスの最高のお茶などの有機茶を選択している。これらの競技は、裁判官は、判断基準として、味、香り、色を使用することができるように"ブラインド"が開催されます。

改良された味に加えて、有機の品種はポリフェノールとカテキンを促進する健康にも高くなっています。これらは、健康上の利点のお茶の有名な多くを提供する抗酸化物質です。科学的研究は、これらの化合物は、良質の茶葉に高濃度で検出されていることを示している。

有機茶は、茶農家の方が有利です。茶樹は、100年以上生きることができる有機農法は、茶樹は、寿命の期間中、健康を維持することができます。

これは、農民は茶樹の置き換えに少ない費用を持っていることを意味します。

彼らが成長したため、化学農薬や化学肥料を使用せずに処理多くの食品が合法的に有機呼び出すことができます。有機茶の場合には、独立した認定委員会は、茶樹は、厳密には有機添加剤と肥料の自然土壌で栽培されたを確認します。化学農薬や化学肥料の使用はすでに茶業界で最小なので、合法的に有機茶を生成するために一般的に難しいことではありません。

有機茶は、多くの場合、それは多くの場合、小売市場で高価なお茶の他のタイプよりも労働集約的な慣行をする必要があります。多くの認可茶の試飲の結果によると、しかし、有機茶は頻繁に全体的な味、香りと有効性の観点からのトップ候補として選択されています。多くの経験豊かなお茶の愛好家はすぐにお茶のサンプリングセッション中に有機茶を識別することができます。

有機茶の人気の最近の増加は、一般的に有機農法に向かって全体的な動きの一部です。無秩序な茶農家は、虫害を制御するだけでなく、DDTのような禁止農薬を使用して、その作物の灌漑に未処理下水の行を使用することが知られている。ほとんどの茶企業が内部的に自分自身を規制ありませんが、人だけinterplanting堆肥、輪作などの農法を使用してそれらが有機茶の認証を取得する可能性があります。米国農務省（USDA）の規格では、合法的に有機質土壌は、少なくとも3年間は合成化学肥料の自由でなければならない。

認定有機茶は、作物として茶を栽培して事実上すべての国で見つけることができます。指定"有機茶"白、赤、緑、ウーロン茶、黒や他の茶品種に適用することができます。多くの有機ハーブティーのブレンドは、スパイスも有機栽培されている花のような他の成分が含まれています。 "有機"として茶の分類はそれではなく、茶の特定の種類や発酵のレベル生成するために農業や処理方法のみを参照します。

多くの消費者は、専門のティーショップでルーズリーフ有機茶のブレンドを選択して有機茶も同様に標準的なティーバッグで販売することができます。コーヒーを飲むと、天然抗酸化剤とポリフェノールは、ほとんどの有機茶のブレンドで見つかった楽しむことができますまた、危険な化学物質や農薬が含まれているわけではありませんが、お茶を知ることに慰めを見いだす。

About sales Offers / new items or stock and QR-Codes

2010-12-23T06:49:00.001-08:00

Firstly, here is some basic knowledge about QR-Codes, before you get started:

1.) You have a mobile website or .tel page with quality content.
2.) You have some special sale offers, new stock, etc.. which you have listed under a few subdomains.

3.) Shorten the main subdomain URL, so that the code doesn't get too „heavy“.
4.) Generate a QR-Code for the shortened subdomain URL which contains the sub-subdomain offers.

Skip 5.), if your mobile web site is a Dot Tel domain.

(5.) Use capital letters after slashes: The code however will be smaller.
(If you already have a Dot Tel domain, you won't have to proceed in that way.)
Example: www.mycompany.com/SUBDOMAIN03.)

6.) Add a short descripton to the code, about the offers and products.

7.) Print the code on flyers and stickers. Put a few stickers on official advert cards of super-market advert boards.
8.) Post the offers in blogs, together with the QR-Codes, as they are scannable from the screen.
9.) Offer the items in eBay/auctiva and/or your Facebook store. Also, at „Kijiji“/“Gumtree“.
10.) Put the web links on your other mobile web sites.

11.) Be sure, that you are able to deliver the items within reasonable time: Start packing the items up, and make them ready for shipping.

(QR-Code) --> (Scanner = Smart Phone) --> (Mobile Website Content)

2010-12-21T18:07:00.000-08:00

A Dot Tel name is, next to the QR-Code, THE code, for communications and marketing. Here I explain you why:

2010-12-21T16:29:00.001-08:00

Because words are codes, and codes can contain alphabetic characters and cyphers/numeric characters, words are equal to numbers, in that sense.

And so, classic phone numbers can be replaced by words, just as they had once been done, in the early days of telecommunication, and which was in the year of 1876.

For picturing and remembering phone numbers, with our own eyes, words are better, of course.

If you have a word or a number: In both cases, we have a code.

Phone numbers, used to be easier, for dialing.

However, today, as we do not have to dial anymore, and can simply "click to call", numbers don't make that much sense, and seem to only be hindering...
Again: A memorable word, for calling, might be the better solution for our modern days and usage of telecommunicaton services.

A Dot Tel name (.tel), which is a online and mobile web page and business card, can offer you more than just one phone number, if calling a .tel name: From the online business card, you are able to select from various types of contact information, such as (the already mentioned) phone numbers, email adresses, SMS, Skype, Voip, web site links, and so on.

Ok: Now you may say, that you can get that for free, at various social network sites: But if you say that, you probably missed the point, because:
With a Dot Tel name, you have your own personal Internet domain and contact info address. And which makes communications easy, if others can memorize, or easily store (by scanning your QR-code, for example) your Dot Tel name (.tel).

Conclusion:
A Dot Tel name is, next to the QR-Code, THE code, for communications and marketing.

.

A word is nothing else, than a code, and an eye nothing else than a scanner.

2010-12-21T12:36:00.001-08:00

A word is nothing else, than a code:

Example:

Word „Singer“.

----------------------- Profession: Singer -------------------

Human eye reads word/code (scans code), storing it in the humain brain.
Firstly, one part of the brain asks other part of the brain:

------------------------„What profession?“---------------------

Brain „decodes“ the word/code into a picture:

------------------------ Picture of a singer ----------------------

In order for the brain to answer your question, he must add word/code and picture:

------------------------ Word „Singer“ = Picture of a singer -----------------

And so, the brain delivers you a combo of:

-------------------------- Word/code + Picture -------------------------------

to the part of the brain, which had requested for an answer.
Which is the third part of the brain, as we have:
--> Brain Part 1 :
(Human eye reads word/code (scans code), storing it in the humain brain.)

--> Brain Part 2 :
(Brain „decodes“ the word/code into a picture.)

--> Brain Part 3 :
(Combines word/code with picture, to deliver an aswer to the question.)

--> Brain Part 4 :
(Storage of the understanding/delivered answer.)

Recapitulation:

1.Read
2.Store
3.Ask
4.Decode / create picture
5.Deliver result = Answer
6.Result = understanding
7.Storage of the understood

So, why can't we just read codes, like we read words?
Because we haven't learned how to read codes.
It is probably as simple as that.
When scanning a code, we have a program for decoding codes, that a programmer had developed.

Let us say, that an illiterate (analphabet) had a program for scanning text, and which would turn words and text into pictures and picture stories: Bingo!
This sort of program would only replace a skill that the illiterate had not learned in school.
However: No need to adopt the skill, if there is a cheap program around for that.

Conclusion: Everything that is related to visualisation, can be learned and adopted as a useful skill, without having to rely on computers, for those tasks.

Today, at present, we nevertheless should take advantage of some little helpers, such as mind maps, that are either existing programs on computer operation systems, or that we draw by hand, on a sheet of paper (which is still the best usage for mind mapping, if you have some practice).

Codes, are not dry stuff, and neither boring: It is about pictures, colors, and having fun by doing visualisation. The only thing: You must try to understand codes, and what is behind codes, and about the huge potential that lies within the usage of codes.

I remember having read about so called "smart chips", some years ago: Well, codes can be smart to. You just have to create or add smart, interesting quality content to that code, that can be read by a click and scan of the code.

Codes, are about mobile web content, that is of interest and some benefit for the scanner/reader/consumer/customer/client, which likes to shoot from his hip, with a smart phone.
A clicker happy shooter. Shooting text and image content on the go.

Guns are out, smart phones are in. Shoot me, scan me.

This is the future: QR-Code Reader. Here is a QR-Code reader we recommend

2010-12-19T06:24:00.000-08:00

Some phones have readers' standard now and it's easy to download. Japan has been using it for years. I heard kids have t-shirts printed with a Neoreader that links it to their ‘Myspace.'

In the future, newspaper ads would have Neoreaders so readers would zap the paper to learn everything about the listing. Perhaps newspaper ads would become extremely valuable once again.

This is the future.

Access mobile web pages

A 2D code can link directly to a mobile web page. When scanned, the information is delivered to your handset without having to type the URL into your phone's browser.

http://in-telinside.blogspot.com/

We recommend the NeoReader QR Code Reader:

How NeoReader Works

You will need to have QR T-shirt package from Kitchen Budapest for making a KIBU styled QR T-shirt. If you don't have one, and are interested in or you would like to have a QR Code T-Shirt please send us an email for this address: qrt-shirt@kitchenbudapest.hu.

Besides our QR T-shirt package, you will need an iron, an iron-table, and a tracing paper to continue.

You can generate your QR code for example using the free service on qrcode.kaywa.com. Please check what is the size of your sample QR code sticker - is should be 21x21 or 25x25 matrix. This is important to know, because you have to use a specific lengt of text to target a specific size of QR code while encoding.

(To read the QR code you will need to install decoder application to your computer or mobile device. You can find help on our T-shirt message project page under "Resources".)

For example, to generate a 25x25 pixel QR code you have to use a text containing more than 11 but less than 20 letters.

Here is a help:


21x21 QR code:      0-11  letters
25x25 QR code:      11-20 letters

a.) If you managed to generate your QR code, the next step is that you will have to reproduce it manually to have an ironable sticker.

Now you have to use the QR code sample sticker found in your package, and remove the exra pixels from it. Be careful, for you will remove pixels form the back side of the sticker, you have to think mirrored. You also have to take care to remove pixels from the white areas of the QR code.

One strategy to avoid mistakes to print the QR code mirrored and remove the pixels while keeping one eye on the print.

Even better strategy is to print the QR code in the same size as the sticker, then temporary fasten the print to the sticker by tapes, and then use a pin to punch the white areas systematically to make visible holes on the sticker sheet. After doing this you can easily remove the punched parts from the sheet.

Don't trouble if you made a couple of mistakes - the QR decoders can handle some errors in the code.

b.) If you have your QR sticker you have to transfer on the T-shirt by ironing it. You will have to follow these instructions for best result:

1. Put the sticker sheet onto the T-shirt with the plastic glossy side up.

2. Put a sheet of tracing paper or fabric on the top of the transfer sheet to avoid the iron being contacted directly with the plastic side of the transfer sheet.

3. Iron it for 15-20 second by 160°C degrees with an average pressure on the sheet.

4. Wait for a couple of minutes for the sheet to get cold.

5. Remove the plastic film of the transfer sheet.
Your T-shirt you made in this way is durable and washable
at a maximum of 60°C degrees.

6. You are ready... smile and wear it!

Last step: customise your geek avatar!

Using the spare black pixels you removed from the transfer sheet you can customise the "geek" avatar printed on the T-shirt. For a basic idea you can make a feminin or masculin character as you can see on the picture below.

Or you can use your creativity at this part - just place the black pixel remains anywhere you want - to make hair, mouth, nose or shoes for the avatar - put a piece of tracing paper onto it and iron it!

A Little Bit Of QR Code Colour Loving For Dot Tel Domains

2010-12-18T09:26:00.001-08:00

Others have noted that if you have enough contrast between foreground and background, most readers will still recognise the code – but lets make every block a different colour! Yup, it still works! Its a lot more prettier and fancier, but a thing to note is that you should still use colours that are a high contrast to the background. I guess I could have used a pale yellow instead of a white background to add more…but that’ll be just over doing it.

Mobile Marketing: Weitere Überlegungen

2010-12-18T08:17:00.000-08:00

Nun habe ich:
1.) Webseitennamen kreirt und diese registriert, und mit Inhalten gefüllt.

2.) Mich mit Suchmaschinenoptimierung ausseinandergesetzt (SEO) und damit experimentiert.

3.) Des Weiteren, mich mit Mobile Marketing beschäftigt.

4.) Und wie man QR- (Quick Response) Codes überall einsetzen kann.

Jetzt wäre es doch an der Zeit, offline zu gehen: Visitenkarten mit Webadressen und QR-Codes zum Scannen drucken und verteilen.

Einige grossformatige QR-Codes in Schaufenstern, auf Autos, Fahrräder und Tee-Shirts zeigen.

Denn QR-Codes können Informationen wie Kontaktinfo oder Text enthalten (Werbebotschaften, oder auch politische Wahlbroschüren, etc.), oder auf Produktepackungen Angaben zum Inhalt und Produkt machen.

Um Ihre Botschaften in Codes zu verpacken, brauchen Sie einen Code-Generator, diese finden Sie online, bei diversen Anbietern. Dort geben sie einfach den Link Ihrer Webseite ein, oder Ihre sonstigen Kontaktinfos, wie Telefonnummern, Email-Adressen, etc., damit man Ihre Info schnell mit dem Handy (Mobile Phone / iPhone) einscannen und einlesen kann.

Falls Sie bunte Codes haben möchten: Achten Sie immer darauf, dass der Code genügend Kontrast zum Hintergrund hat.

Das Einlesen von QR-Codes ist die schnellste, direkteste und einfachste Art, wie Jemand Etwas über Sie und Ihre Produkte / Firma erfahren kann.

Durch Bereitstellung eines Codes zur rechten Zeit, am richtigen Ort, erreichen Sie Menschen einfacher und schneller, wie wenn Sie nun darauf warten würden, bis diese Menschen allenfalls Ihre Webseite im Internet entdecken. Führen Sie die Leute hin, zu Ihrer Webpräsenz: Von Offline zu Online. Und Online, kann wieder zu Offline-Kontakten führen, wenn Sie einen Verkaufsladen, eine Organisation, etc. haben, die von Kundenbesuchen, Mund zu Mund Propaganda, und von ihrem Bekanntheitsgrad lebt.

Ihre Landingpage im Web, soll die Besucher erst einmal informieren und einladen, mit Ihnen Kontakt aufzunehmen, Ihnen Etwas abzukaufen, und zu guter Letzt, Sie und Ihre Firma weiterzuempfehlen.

Vor nicht allzulanger Zeit, publizierten Werbeplakate nebst der Botschaft des Werbers seine Geschäftsadresse, oder / und seine Webadresse.

Heute kommt es noch besser: Da braucht man sich nichts zu notieren oder zu merken: Schnell QR-Code einscannen und später, in aller Ruhe lesen und studieren. Oder gleich unterwegs kurz einen Blick auf die Botschaft werfen, auf dem Handy-Display. Nur sollte das nicht beim Autofahren oder Gehen in der Fussgängerzone geschehen, sondern dort, wo Sie eine Pause einlegen, und es sich bequem gemacht haben. Auf einer Sitzbank, oder im Tram, Zug, Taxi, etc.. Oder noch besser: Zu Hause auf dem Sofa, anstatt das "Pantoffel-Kino" einzuschalten. (Werbe-Botschaften) brauchen Ihre Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit. Nicht nur Fernseh-Werbespots können unterhalten, sondern auch gut aufgemachte Webseiten. Viel Spass. Und lernen Sie viel Gutes und Nützliches. Ich glaube, dass auch die Werbe-Auftraggeber und Werbe-Agenturen eingesehen haben, dass Volksverblödung, Brainwashing, etc., nicht der alleinige Garant für höhere Verkaufs- und Umsatzzahlen sind. Die Konsumenten sind nicht (alle) blöd, und möchten das auch verstanden wissen, durch etwas anspruchsvollere und interessante Werbung, die auch vermittelt, dass die Firma / der Werber sich verantwortlich gibt, und dem Nachhaltigkeit kein Fremdwort ist. Denn nachhaltige und umweltschonende Produkte können auch Teil der Eigenschaften sein, welche die Nachfrage beinhaltet. Es wird gerade diese Art von Werbung sein, die beim Kunden ankommt, und seine Konsumwünsche befriedigen kann.

Ehrliche und gute Produkte, werden siegen. Kunden-Verarsche is out. Denn mittlerweile können sich die Konsumenten besser und umfangreicher über den Markt und seine Angebote und Produkte informieren. Auch mobile, "on the go" / unterwegs.

Das Mobile Marketing trifft auf Menschen die mobil sind, und das Internet vermehrt auch mobil benutzen. "Um sehen und gesehen zu werden". Also, um Etwas über Sie und Ihre Firma zu erfahren, oder um sich selber darzustellen und zu zeigen. Bestehende Netzwerke helfen, Botschaften zu verbreiten. "Share" (Teile), Dies und Das, geht nirgendswo einfacher und schneller.
Twitter ist beliebt, und respektiert die Tatsache, dass Ihre Zeit kostbar ist, und sie nicht (unbedingt) Stunden und Tage im Internet verbringen möchten.

Zum Schluss bleibt dann doch noch die Frage, wo die besseren Angebot zu Finden sind: Unterwegs, in Zeitungen, oder online im Internet.

Das Internet bietet den Vorteil, dass man konzentriert und gezielt nach infos Suchen kann.
Wenn sie jedoch Google Search nicht vollumfänglich verstehen und nutzen können, kommen Sie wohlmöglich zu kurz, und es entgehen Ihnen interessante Infos und Angebote.
Eine Vertrautheit in der Bedienung der Suchmaschinen ist deshalb von grossem Vorteil, wenn Sie anstatt der vielen veralteten Botschaft, auch ganz aktuelle "herausfischen" wollen.
Dafür gibt es am linken Rand Ihres Bildschirmes weitere Such-Optionen, die man nutzen sollte.

Zwar indexiert Google neue Inhalte und Seiten sehr schnell, nur dauert es sehr lange, bis diese allenfalls nach "Vorne" gefunden haben. Das zurückblättern, können Sie sich ersparen, wenn Sie nach den neuesten Nachrichten suchen, indem Sie diese Suche gezielt eingeben:

What are QR Codes?

2010-12-15T20:46:00.000-08:00

QR Codes allow everyday items to become a website (print-to-mobile-to-web messaging) where everything can become a hyperlink, or “physical world hyperlinking”. The “QR” stands for “Quick Response”. These smart codes are similar to the price barcodes found on the packaging of supermarket items, however, QR Codes hold much more information (including website addresses, text and phone numbers). A price barcode can hold only about 20 digits (one direction only) but QR Codes can hold up to 7,000 digits (both vertical and horizontal directions).

Bike computers that can only measure speed and distance have been outdated for several years now. Today, these devices can track all sorts of data from our cycling trips. Bike computers with GPS function, provide a fully built-in navigation option.

How to Buy a Bike Computer
Bike computers can do all sorts of things - from telling you how far you've ridden to how much elevation you've gained. It's all a question of what features you want and how much you want to spend.

Instructions:

1. Determine your price range. Bike computers can cost as little as $20 and as much as $100.

2. Decide what features you want. Do you want just the basic speedometer, odometer and clock? Or do you want a heart-rate monitor or an altimeter?

3.Consider a cordless model. These computers are especially good for mountain bikers - no wires to snag on tree branches.

4. Decide whether you want to use your computer on your indoor trainer. If so, you will need a computer that will allow you to put the sensor on the rear wheel.

5. Determine whether or not you will install the computer yourself. If so, make sure the directions make sense before you buy the computer.

Bike computers add an interesting extra dimension to cycling. In their simplest form they tell you your speed and the distance you have travelled. The more complicated ones will give you much more information such as your pedal revolutions. They can be useful for improving performance or simply for curiosity sake to see how many miles you have covered this week or whether one route is shorter than another.

Plus it’s a lot of fun to keep beating your highest speed!

As with all our other guides I’ll take you through what things to look for in a good bike computer and then I’ll pick out some of the latest and greatest bike computers that are well regarded.

What to look for
Ease of use – many come with just one button but often that can make it tougher to use. Other things to look for include well sized and designed buttons so you can quickly tap them while you are cycling. Keep in mind that if you are wearing cycling gloves the buttons will be harder to press.

Setup process – Often where bike computers stumble is in the setup process when you need to input your wheel size for accurate calculations.

Wired vs. wireless – a lot of the newer bike computers are now wireless. This makes them slightly more expensive but is usually worth it for simplicity. Avoid the cheapest wireless ones as the accuracy is likely to not be very good.

Mount – It should be possible to very quickly remove the bike computer when you reach your destination. Also the mount should be easy to fit and not wobble whilst cycling.

Display – You want a clear display so you can check stats without taking your eyes off the road for too long. The larger screens usually mean you can fit in more statistics which is a bonus.

Functions – Checkout the list of functions to see if it provides you with the statistics you need. Ask yourself which ones you are genuinely interested in.

White Bordeaux: Oft-Forgotten Bliss. Fine white Bordeaux.

Compared with the relatively simple task of making red wine, white wine is far more complicated and labor intensive. Picking the white grapes, is difficult and time-consuming.

The white grapes are more delicate than the reds, and must be picked at peak ripeness and handled gently to avoid oxidation. This sometimes requires multiple passes at the same vines over the course of a couple of weeks.

In the cellar, the red wine is fermented in huge steel tanks, before being put in barrels to age. But the white is fermented in small oak barrels, each of which must receive individual care to make sure a secondary fermentation does not take place.

As the wine ages, the sediment, or lees, in each barrel is stirred periodically, which contributes to the wines’ voluptuous texture. One bottle of white requires 70 times more precision than one bottle of red.

Das Auge trinkt mit
Wer Wein kauft, lässt sich von seinen Sinnen lenken. Aber überraschend viele Kaufentscheidungen hängen nicht vom Geschmack und vom Duft, sondern von der Optik ab.

Weinwelt in Bewegung
Warum Winzer mehr aufs Design achten sollen:
Wohl jeder hat es schon erlebt, dass er sich im Laden für ein Buch entscheidet, weil das Cover schön aussieht. Beim Wein ist das nicht anders. Sinne steuern den Kaufprozess bereits, bevor die Flasche entkorkt ist. Keine Frage, das Auge trinkt mit. Flaschenform, Etikett, Schrift, Farbe und Präsentation stechen dem potentiellen Käufer als Erstes ins Auge. Die Bedeutung der Optik ist immens und häufig ist sie entscheidendes Kaufkriterium, belegen Studien. Das gehe sogar so weit, dass vom Aussehen der Geschmack beeinflusst werden kann. Wein und Design sind Teil modernen Marketings und besonders wichtig vor dem Hintergrund der rasanten Marktentwicklung.

Denn die Welt des Weines dreht sich immer schneller: neue Rebsorten, neue Regionen, neue Verschlüsse - alles wird bunter, globaler. Und noch etwas hat sich geändert: Weine werden im Supermarkt gekauft. Da steht ein Australier ganz selbstverständlich neben dem Rheinhessen, oder ein Chilene neben dem Rebensaft von der Nahe. Beratung oder Probe? Fehlanzeige. Desgleichen bei Einkäufen im Internet. Wer als heimischer Winzer im positiven Sinne seinen Wein zur Schau stellt, kann sich der zunehmenden Konkurrenz nur erwehren, wenn er neben der Qualität seines Produktes auch auf eine professionelle Vermarktung setzt und den Weg nach vorne antritt. Dazu gehört ein anziehender Look.

Photoshop-Versuche Marke Eigenbau sollten dafür der Vergangenheit angehören.

Der richtige Ton
So wie über den Look transportiert der Weinbauer auch über Worte ein Stück weit die Identität seines Weingutes. Was nutzt die schönste Internetseite oder der durchgestylteste Folder, wenn der Text nicht mithalten kann. Wie beim Design, so ist es auch beim Inhalt von Werbematerialien ratsam, Profis zu konsultieren. Beratungsresistenz ist hier fehl am Platz. Text- oder PR-Dienste wissen in der Regel, wie sich Informationen verständlich und prägnant verkaufen lassen.

Nicht das Verbreiten von Winzerlatein ist gefragt, sondern ausschlaggebend ist es, den richtigen Ton zu treffen und zwar passend zur Unternehmensidentität. Fazit: Zeitgemäßes Marketing von Wein soll Kunden auf den Geschmack bringen und verlangt Text und Design mit Anspruch – attraktiv, kreativ und angemessen. Oder in der Winzersprache ausgedrückt: Qualität mit Prädikat.

Ein als schön wahrgenommenes Etikett erhöht zudem die Chance zum Wiederkauf, ergab eine amerikanische Studie. Mit dem Etikett allein ist es aber nicht getan. Gut gemachte Broschüren oder Preislisten etwa sind zusätzliche Verkaufsargumente und Imageträger. Dabei gibt es viel zu beachten, von der Papierauswahl bis zur Auflösung des Fotos.

Profis um Rat fragen
Langweilige Logos und Etiketten, angestaubte Wappen, liebelose Internetseiten oder amateurhaft gestaltete Flyer schrecken Interessenten dagegen mehr ab als viele Anbieter denken. Natürlich lassen sich Bestandskunden davon weniger beindrucken, sie haben den Wein auch beim Trinken schätzen gelernt, aber letztlich hat jeder Verkäufer das gleiche Ziel: alte Kunden nicht verlieren und neue akquirieren.
Man möchte manchem Winzer den Mut wünschen, hin und wieder Konventionen über Bord zu werfen und bei der Verpackung seines Produktes neue Gestaltungselemente einzubauen. Aber Vorsicht: es geht keinesfalls darum, um jeden Preis aufzufallen und Etikettenschwindel zu betreiben. Nicht jeder Tropfen verträgt ein peppiges Etikett, bewusst Traditionelles kann ebenso wirken. Vielmehr sollten Wein und Design harmonieren, emotionalisieren und zur Corporate Identity des Unternehmens passen. Ein möglichst unverwechselbares und nicht beliebiges Erscheinungsbild ist das Ziel, die Konkurrenz ist schließlich groß.

Ob Etikett, Logo, Flyer, Wappen, Internetseite oder Anzeige – zu einem guten Tropfen gehört eine attraktive Verpackung. Und wer zusätzlich auf professionelle Texte und moderne Kommunikation setzt, rundet das Gesamtpaket ab. So sichern Sie sich Vorteile im Wettbewerb.

Leistungen aus Grafik und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit zu verbinden und auf Wein zu fokussieren, das ist unser Angebot. Bei der Weinproduktion sind Sie der Fachmann, bei Design und PR haben wir unsere Stärke. Das Ziel der Zusammenarbeit: wir setzen Ihrem Produkt die Krone auf.

Unsere Leistungen
Bei der Vermarktung von Wein gibt es viel zu beachten. Es geht ums Ganze (Corporate Design) und der Teufel steckt doch im Detail. Jedes Etikett, jeder Text oder jede Visitenkarte transportiert einen Teil Identität Ihres Weingutes.

Verzichten Sie auf Stückwerk und greifen Sie auf die Unterstützung von Profis zurück. Wir bieten Ihnen zahlreiche Leistungen aus den Bereichen Grafik/Design und PR/Öffentlichkeitsarbeit
– einzeln oder im Paket.

Read the book, scan the t-shirt, scan my Dot Tel domain, because it is mobilzed for your smart phone

2010-12-13T05:32:00.000-08:00

This is the QR-Code of telpages.com: Simply scan it with your smart (mobile) phone, or copy it, email it, etc., and share it with your friends and business partners, etc.

The scanned code, will then generate a weblink, where you can view the website on your smart phone.

Books are starting to do something old in a new way. A new wave of authors are sending their books to readers via mobile phones, in instalments. Like the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did via The Strand magazine, releasing your work in bits can create a real sense of occasion, tension, and so raise your public profile. But today’s mobile phones let this self-promotion go one step further using the clever idea of the QR code.

Originally developed for tracking car parts, a QR (short for Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode. Most of us have seen one-dimensional barcodes in the shops; these are the tiger striped labels that can be scanned by a laser at the checkout to total our bill. But what can be done in one dimension can be done in two as well, and adding the dimension of height as well as length can increase the amount of information available.
Read all about it

In Japan most mobile camera phones can now automatically read QR codes. The codes are printed in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards and even t-shirts. When you scan the code the information in it can take your phone direct to the product’s website. For example in 2008 author Alexander Besher's sci-fi book Manga Man was promoted in Japan with T-shirts emblazoned with QR codes that when read took your mobile to the website to download a chapter. So in the future what you wear could become a doorway to the web. As Holmes might say, "Elementary my dear, what’s on?"

For this type of search, use TelPages.com. It will get your current location automatically, and search there – or read the Where field and search for all addresses and locations in that area with the radius specified below the map. Click “Clear location” if you want to search globally.

Filter: Showing only results containing Image, eMail, Phone, Internet Call, Fax or Instant Messenger

To get quality search results, we also recommend using the Filters, so that you can get well-populated .tel pages with phone numbers, images, IMs and email addresses.
