    Going to throw my company, CrowdSavvy into this, though we are early, early stage. Been working on it since mid-2010. Launched to public beta in 2011. http://www.crowdsavvy.com

    Hi there. Any reason why you feel that would be a good change? Here is my thinking (So you can see where I am coming from). It is better to articulate the end-goal, or what the cli…

    I would also be interested in hearing what services people use to handle monthly billing as well as plusses and minuses. For example, is it true with pay pal that on their credit c…

    First question is if the app is profitable. If yes, I would look into a process like this: http://taptaptap.com/blog/the-easy-way-to-get-into-the-iphon... I would first post an exp…

    I just wanted to express my gratitude for putting this together. Hopefully I can get my product out the door and buy some space in this sooner rather than later!

    Thanks for posting this for review. Like the concept a lot. If you have some beta customers, I would recommend you post quotes from them on the site. Nothing will help win over sma…
