Moglue – The Simplest Way to Make Your Own Interactive eBooks
Certainly this writeup is long over-due. I had a chance to connect with some of the Moglue team late last year at GMIC. Also where I met one of my business partners who runs Global Centrics, a full service app development company. Whether you’re a joker, a smoker, or a midnight toker. Whether you’re a picker, a grinner, a lover or a sinner. Or maybe you’re just a someone who’s been looking to get their book published but hasn’t found the best method for doing so. Enter Moglue As the video below illustrates. You can easily use Moglue’s web platform to create animated eBooks that can be used and optimized (no doubt) for mobile devices. As far as the team behind the company, Moglue’s founders met in May of 2010 at a Start-up Weekend event in Seoul, South Korea. Their team spent three days developing the concept behind what would eventually become Moglue. By end of the third day they had a working prototype. Since their skill-sets...

Magic Solver – The User Acquisition Specialists
Similar to the likes of AppGratis, AppsFire, Tapjoy, FreeAppADay and the countless others Magic Solver and their team strive to test thousands of apps from talented developers in 5 continents and select a ‘la creme de la creme every day’. While I was under the impression that one of Apple’s most recent developer updates last year indicated that, “Apps cannot exist for the sole-purpose of promoting other apps” If it is the case that MagicSolver is relying mainly on their positioning and performance in the App Store, it might be disappointing to later down the road if Apple mandates they change their business model or take the app out of the app store. It is worth mentioning however, Magic Solver has helped a large number of well branded companies which include: Zynga, Zoopla.co.uk, BooYah!, Gameloft, Z2Life, Sunstorm, TinyCo, GREE, Kabam, PocketGems, Playmesh, Ngmoco, Playdom, CBS | Interactive, and the like.. Magic Solver also boasts the following stats: 2 million FreeAppMagic users, who have saved over $16 million getting...

Singly – Creating the Fabric for Social Apps
Singly is one of those companies that if I didn’t write about, it would keep me up all night feeling as if I’m doing some type of injustice to the world. And, after reading this article from the folks over at VentureBeat earlier in the week, I felt that it was something that just had to be done. While I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Jason Cavnar CEO and Co-Founder of Singly at this years Apps World, I did meet Singly’s team. As forewarning, what I’m about to say may be shocking. The thing that attracted me the most to the booth initially was their peppermint-patties. ..but you can rest assured that I was immediately approached by members of the Singly team afterwards, who I vividly remember being the most friendly of ALL the Booths I had stopped to take a look at. What’s more important is that they actually knew what Singly was, and what they were talking about. I wish I could say the same...

Tap for Tap – Get Users Make Money
Ok, before you go off thinking that Tap for Tap is just another app discovery service, I should start off by telling you that – you’re right. But there’s more more to it. Really. If there name alone was indicative how how their service works, then maybe it’s worth mentioning that: Tap for Tap gives app developers two cost-effective ways to promote their apps and a simple way of generating ad revenue in one easy-to-use platform. The best thing to do of course, would be to download their SDK, select the style of ad units you’d like to show in your app then just decide how you’d like to get be compensated with the Earnings Preference slider (below). By selecting “Get Users” and you’ll earn credits for taps and installs on the tap exchange. Selecting “Make Money” will of course, provide you monetization from the network. The best part is, it’s not a black and white scenario. You can also choose to be “in the middle” of...
