Apptizr, the website for discovering iPhone apps we covered few days ago, is now officially opened for public. No longer you need to use some special code (like “IntoMobile”) in order to access the service – simply visit apptizr.com and take it from there.
The official pitch goes like this:
With over 100K apps in the iPhone App Store, finding high quality apps that match a user’s specific interests is like finding a needle in the haystack. Apptizr does the heavy lifting through its proprietary algorithm which matches user interests with the right apps. The engine is smart enough to learn more about users’ interests over time based on what they do with the recommendations. Apptizr also evaluate the applications for quality and only recommends the best apps in each category to the users.
Unlike Apple’s Genius recommendation engine, which is useful only after users have already downloaded lots of apps, Apptizr can be used by experienced and brand new iPhone users alike. The algorithm Apptizr uses takes into account users’ stated interests, demographic profile, as well as behavior. Unlike other services which require active user participation, Apptizr serves the recommendations to the users on the Apptizr website and via a weekly email. After the initial setup, users can simply sit back and relax and wait for the recommendations to be served to them!
Convinced? Here’s the link, again: www.apptizr.com.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
