How often have you and your colleagues set off for lunch and said out loud “Where should we go?”. With infinite choice comes great responsibility and coming up with the right place can waste valuable social time and cause arguments. Food Friendzie solves the problem by randomly choosing a suitable food venue in your local area from a mix of known favourites and new randoms. [...]

The amazing Roger Federer has just done it again, he’s back on the number 1 spot and added a few more records to his incredible career.

App Research and Stats – Dont just look at the averages

Fanale — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 22:31:41 +0000

It seems that most App commentators want to limit their App research to looking at average numbers. I can only assume that it is to support their opinion that the chances of success in this industry are slim at best. Obviously any feasibility study that looks at averages alone is flawed as the average numbers reported are so skewed by the two extremes of the app market. Some ‘experts’ would have you believe that you are never going to get any more than 14,000 downloads or make a cent from being an app developer. Tell that to these app developers [...]
