dl.app $50k why???
Even if it may stand for DownLoad still...

Also it's EUR, not USD, so it's like 59.000 USD. I also wonder who buys that?

Thanks for noticing. That is even worse lol

No ones bought it. Its the asking price

Thanks! So "gays.app" wasn't sold for 1 million like it was assumed?

wasn't that without "s"?

Thanks! So "gays.app" wasn't sold for 1 million like it was assumed?

Also, it's interesting that people bid on "realestate.app", because we also own "realestates.app" which should be better to sell.

It was Gay.app not Gays.app that's being discussed.

Realestates is NOT more valuable than RealEstate.

Also, "DL" could stand for Distributed Ledger(s)...a very hot & valuable sector. (not to mention the countless other "DL" end-users out there...)

I own DLT.app (distributed ledger technology) and I'm not surprised by the asking price of DL.app

*Not saying that prices are justified, but you should definitely have a firm grasp of the English language, and also a worldly-viewpoint concerning trends, acronyms, etc..

Below is off Nambio.....

rn.app 15,000 USD 2018-06-06 Sedo
hedgefund.app 251 USD 2018-06-01 Flippa

Couldn't see them listed on this thread

My own 2 cents.....The release of a new extension reminds me of a bubble and I have seen it all before in other markets/industries. There is a window of opportunity, but in the long term proven asset classes always provide a better long term return (dependent on your judgement of course!) getting rich quick is the exception rather than the norm.

Downloading an app will be obsolete by 2023. Apps will be streamed to devices and from objects to devices.

What sources or research do you have to back up such a claim?

Granted, that claim is a tad ridiculous especially with a specified year. However what can be said is that Google is pushing towards experiences that needn't be downloaded (Instant apps, PWA), its pretty much all they banged on about thay their little conference thingy. I think the point is a tad moot though. A website can be an app, take Discord for example. It isn't uncommon for web apps to be referred to or presented as apps (Facebook web apps being a big one).

If you're going to choose .app to present your web app on, good for you. I'm considering it for my next project because I want it to be presented as a SPA - but I have the .com too just for good measure .

What sources or research do you have to back up such a claim?

I'm of the "Trader" mentality, so I'm always trying to predict future trends in markets and prepare for them in advance. This is just my theory and I'm buying some good domains based on that theory. What you are going to see is a fundamental shift in the way that devices communicate, share and transfer information. I believe that is Googles intention behind the ".app" tld. It will take years to come into play, and the lag time will be for development of .app domains and increasing the market presence of the .app purchase to be developed. A company like Samsung for example, will always be the .com because the .com is the powerhouse, it's who the company is and what they do. The .app's will come into play for specific products that companies develop that will run on these new smart grids or whatever you want to call them. The .app domains come into play because they will be the platform for any given product. This is how the smart grids or systems like Alexa will incorporate other companies products and exchange data back and forth independent of Alexa. So Samsung would want to use a name like HdTv.app, which would link it's television product to the Samsung.com parent company network. They won't really be "Apps", they will be live streaming networks that run 24-7. It makes more sense to link a big .com's companies streaming technology via a .app domain rather than a .com since it's essentially fueling that particular product.

This is my theory, I didn't get it from watching Google propaganda or anything else. Just like buying Apple stock at $60 and watching it go to over $1,000. Good names are essentially ".APP Stock" if you think about it.

Where have you got the idea about smart grids. Is there somewhere you read that? Why would it be a specific domain extension, like .app, if it's something that Alexa uses? Applications that run on Alexa make domains redundant in the most part, why would anyone care which domains the traffic runs over?

Those are examples. The tech will run independent, yet side by side. It's not that you are personally accessing the .app domain, even though you can if you choose to, but the products will SINC to the domains and exchange information automatically without your intervention. This is how companies will link (live / streaming) individual products through smart grids so they can secure, control and exchange information between them and those products. The problem is the intitial set-up for certain products like TV's because when you first buy the product you have to allow the initial "sinc" on your system. It will say something like, "Simply go to HDTV.app to sinc your device." Once you sinc the device, your intervention is no longer required and the device just runs and exchanges information. Other systems like car alarms, or tracking chips will run through the 5G network no matter where you are.

It's the same principle as sinc'ing a pair of blu tooth head phones to your phone, only this system will "sinc" your devices live over the internet to these companies.

Think of the product as the bar code, the .app domain as the reader and the smart grid as system.

I never read anything anything, or saw anything to come to this conclusion. I just asked myself, "Why would Google want a secure tld that is related to apps?" It certainly isn't for the money! There's a motive behind what they are doing, and MY THEORY is above.

Realestates is NOT more valuable than RealEstate.

Can you tell me why you think that RealEstates.app in plural isn't more valuable than RealEstate.app? In most cases the users will search for an "real estates app" I assume.

No, this is not the case, if people search for anything real estate related, most people will use the singular "Real Estate", the plural "Real Estates" is not very popular at all in English

 

[MadAboutDomains]

"Real Estate" is plural and singular depending on the use. Its like sheep.

Anyone having problems listing .app at sedo? Keep getting an yellow exclamation box and can't add pricing.

If it’s yellow exclamation it means it’s still pending authorisation ,you should be ok in about 3 to 4 hours it’s the last process of Verification

Make sure your domain is on default parking with your registrar. If you are parked elsewhere it may not work.

btw, there is a new phenomenon called DAPPs (i.e. decentralized applications). consider the new extension issue from this aspect, also.
