Facebook/LinkedIn and Google make this DNS trick superfluous, but also each has a vested interest in having people use the web, not a novel DNS-based registry, for such discovery. For those reasons, I pronounce .TEL dead-on-arrival.
(Web hits are even easier than DNS. Why not telnic.org/henri instead of henri.tel? Both could, at Telnic's discretion, imply the exact same thing. One just makes it even clearer you're bought-into a single company's namespace. But that's a bug, not a feature.)
