Seems a bit weird to me that they're effectively selling URLs of the form app.net/appname rather than selling subdomains like appname.app.net.

Seems a bit weird to me that they link to fake examples to real apps in their "Featured apps". Unless they got permission? EDIT: They are legitimate testimonials.

  Hey this is Dalton. I absolutely got permission from every single app developer on the featured apps page.

    Oh, very good. Maybe featured apps should be renamed to Featured Examples? Just because if I google for Evernote iphone app, it takes me to the "legitimate" website of Evernote, not http://app.net/evernote http://app.net/evernote

      I never knew that Google takes you directly to the official website of a product. What I know is that google ranks websites based on keywords, links, content... (SEO) and show you (typically) the 10 first most pertinent results. Being the first on Google doesn't mean that you are the official/legitimate website of that product.

      No apology? You just made a completely baseless accusation and are passing it off as a conclusion that other reasonable people should have made.

I'd love to see someone make use of the TLD .app http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/20/icann_dot_everything/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/20/icann_dot_everything... It has been registered by someone, however.

  Who? And, already? Doesn't registration for new TLDs not open until next year? I've been following this project: http://dotappapp.com/ http://dotappapp.com/ It would be sad to learn they've been pipped.

    http://tld.name/register-your-tld.php http://tld.name/register-your-tld.php "* PRIVATE REGISTRATION *" How ironic that a TLD gets squatted (as it looks like.) Domaining to the top. And what do you do for a living? Eyes glistening: "I'm a top level domainer."

      That's a registration under an alternative DNS root, run by INAIC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root#Public-Root http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root#Public-Roo... It has nothing to do with ICANN's new TLD system, since registration hasn't opened.

Especially given the recent guidance that subdomains are less prone to penalty by the Google Panda update. Might want to retool or at least offer the option for appname.app.net

  There was no recent guidance that subdomains are less prone to penalty by the Google Panda update. There was just an SEO blogger with poor reading comprehension and an axe to grind.
