@PolarBearFarm I just updated my post with a link to your Hack Store post. Saw it in the comments on Hacker News |
@timburks And there are a lot of developers more interested in making a buck than fostering a successful platform. |
@timburks I'm in full support of doing the best we can as a developer community, but it's not like the old OSX days. App Store is cut throat |
@timburks "If we..." get together and raise prices, it's called price fixing. Apple helping to solve the problem maintains competition. |
Back from another day of writing. This time I take a deeper look at the market realities of App Store pricing: http://tinyurl.com/4zgyvp |
@majicDave There have been too many external forces for me to discern any buying patterns yet. It took the Staff Pick to get in the top 100 |
@majicDave Gas Cubby bumped in and out of the top 100 enough to make me think it is strictly volume. If momentum is used, it's not much |
@atebits The threshhold for the top 100 is around 300, so I'm guessing your sales yesterday were 350-500. |
@atebits From what I've been able to tell; rankings are mostly done by volume with maybe a touch of momentum, but always 24 hours behind. |
@PolarBearFarm Make sure the current build setting is the same as the profile you are editing. |
@peterc Rare yes, but an issue that shouldn't be glossed over. It's the store itself that is driving prices down, not free market forces. |
Opening Twitteriffic on the iPhone is like come home. Sometimes good UI is felt more than observed. |
@gedeon The "iTunes placement is KING" line part was borrowed from @PolarBearFarm. Most peope who actually have apps in the store agree! |
Some people didn't properly interpret my App Store blog post; iTunes placement is KING, free PR is queen, and ads aren't cost effective. |
@PolarBearFarm I'm thining about another post RE your tweet: "iTunes placement is KING." People don't get that iTunes is not a free market. |
@PolarBearFarm It's amazing the conclusions people have derived from my post. I thought the detail would make it less ambiguous, oh well. |
just realized I sent @chockenberry a reply using Tweetie. EMBARASSING I have to admit though, I like search for finding tweets about my apps |
@chockenberry Plus, the App Store is a whole new world. Even tried and true marketing techniques don't work the same way. |
@chockenberry Thanks! The armchair commenters were pissing me off. People who haven't done marketing act like it's easy. |
@bbatsell The comments haven't been as bad as I was expecting. We'll see if it gets worse, but it's not yet as bad as what @chockenberry saw |
