Google purchases rights to the entire .app top-level domain for $25 million | 9to5Google

Google purchases rights to the entire .app top-level domain for $25 million | 9to5Google: "Google paid $25 million to get exclusive rights to the .app TLD, according to a new report. TLDs, or ‘top-level domains’ are the bits like ‘.com’ and ‘.net’ at the end of web domains. ICANN, the organization responsible for managing web addresses, has been launching many new, customized TLDs in recent months."

I totally had the .app top level domain in my cart at GoDaddy and was about to check out when Google scooped me. Dang!
