Telnet on some other port

Hey guys,
I know that Telnet protocol works over port no 23.
But recently i was reading about HTTP in which telnet was used over port no 80.
I did not get the idea of using telnet on some other port.
What is the meaning of using telnet over port no (except 23)

I used telnet to remote login and it basically happens on port 23 by default.
Please correct me.....
