Even though mobile applications existed for 10 years now, it was Apple which brought the hype to the industry. And now we have a new service, actually social network, dedicated to those people who really (and I mean *really*) love their apps.
The service is called Appboy and it’s apparently made for both developers and end users. Various platforms are present (not just the iPhone), and you can comment and rate apps, as well as create your own little app store and eventually earn a 5% commission. Furthermore, developers can ask the end users for some idea input – what would they like to see developed next, or which feature is missing from their software. This, of course, is in addition to actual promotion of the application.
And that’s about it. I dig the idea and I’ve no doubts they’ll raise money in the times of the app stores boom. That’s in case the Appboy folks actually need funding. We certainly wish them all the luck. 😉
