.app TLD for Web Applications

Web applications have become the next trend of the internet and it seems the day it’ll replace traditional desktop apps are not that far. But still web applications aren’t the easiest to use for average users one of the major barriers is accessing the application itself. As I mentioned in my previous post most of the web applications have got confusing domain names.

This is mainly due to the unavailability of top level domain extensions  for simpler and common terms. So how about introducing a separate TLD for web applications ? I feel .app would be the most suitable extension. It will make web application stand-out from the information only web sites. This would be a similar concept to .mobi extension which was intended to serve only Mobile Content.

What do you think about this idea ?
