If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:

Please use it. 

Please oh please.

Meesing up with your cultural code (Taken with instagram)

“Instagram is one of the hottest photo sharing apps on the App Store right now. There’s one problem: it doesn’t look that great. At Tapmates, we take pride in our icons and user interfaces, so we decided to mock-up what it would look like if we made it. Keep in mind that this is for personal reasons—Instagram did not hire us to do so.

If you would like to see a better design as much as we do, please Retweet this post and spread the word! Without further ado.

Here is an early draft of what the interface might look like.

Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business by Chris Anderson

Making a free app does not necessarily mean giving the app away for free. Mostly it means that seller has sources, sponsors for a majority or paid add-ons. Despite being paid add-on’s are a great way of making money, enhancing your app with sponsored, high quality, free and usable materials increases the value of your product. If you have a free app, you can always benefit from being on the top free list on App Store. On each update you get back to that list -update downloads counts same as first time downloads as well- which is the perfect way to get the attention you desire. Being on the top free apps list makes sponsors happy and it gets easier to get new sponsors. Always start with big companies on the market. Better sponsors have better market value and increases the value of your product as well. Besides, having a major sponsor for 6-12 months will most possibly cover the initial expenses to launch up the 1.0 version of the app.
