So, what if you all oversaturate the market with applications?

Ok we'd like to be in but have to qualify what we are committing to. We already launched v1. We'd like to launch our android/iphone app in November

But...it's NaNoWriMo that month! How are we supposed to write a novel and launch an app? ;-)

It is also MOvember!

This could be fun. I'm in for Nov 28th.

Could we arrange to start voting for the best apps on Dec 1st?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks like you've done a good job getting pre-launch traction, i.e, LifeHacker profile, etc... Any practical tips on getting pre-launch buzz?

We have drafted off the success of Flavors.me, which is Goodsie's sister property ( http://hiidef.com is the parent). Goodsie was featured on Lifehacker (which is the holy grail) because I sent a thank you email for a brief Flavors mention and the author noticed Goodsie in my email signature. For Flavors.me, we were super lucky to get a fantastic bunch of creatives and influencers to try our beta, largely through per…

Jonathan, I just checked out the HiiDef team site. Looks like you have a fantastic group of talented people who actually seem pretty cool.

I'd love to setup something similar in the near future. I'm sure I'll be seeing big things from your group!

Small suggestion: change it to "Launch an App and Get ONE Paying Customer Month"

Getting the first paying customer isn't going to be a watershed moment for every kind of venture. Some aren't in it for the money, others are building a foundation for what may be profitable later (re: basically everything Google does or has done). Launching an app, for whatever the reason, is an accomplishment in itself.

I agree with your point of "Launching an app, for whatever the reason, is an accomplishment in itself"

Which software niche is not already oversaturated? :)

Ok- Everyone trying to use the google spreadsheet - this won't work. They aren't that good at supporting concurrent users. Instead, please try the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_141079939271952 and get an account on techtrepreneur.com, where you can post about what you're doing as the month passes.
