Apple Aplications Loose their Usage in One Month of Purchase/Download

iPhone by Apple has free and as well as to be purchased applications. According to Pinch Media 30% of the people that download and iPhone application, use it after a day it is downloaded. And there is a great decrease in the use of that application as the days goes. So where is the problem, is it Apple's own fault or just the lack of consumer's interest.


The research done shows that for every 20 apps you download from the App Store, you would probably be using only one of them in 30 days. Pinch Media further says that becuase Apple has no "try before buy scheme" the user really doesn't knows whats the application would offer him.Moreover most Apple applications are free so why would the user actually bother to check if the application is in use or not.

This news Pinch Media sure is informative and gives you a nice view of how much interest people take in these iPhone applications.

Important News Roundup

Hi Readers,
Long time no see from me, I was caught up in some work other than blogging. February turned out to be a busy month for me, had to do a lot of stuff. Anyhow back to business, this post i am writing is very important because i have to share some of the news about this blog.


So here goes what i wanted to tell:

Ban from Digg.com:
This was simply i wasn't expecting and never though Digg would do this. Because on my side i was being honest towards using it. Anyhow, what i would say won't change Digg's decision. Digg was useful to get a good traffic and to make friends.

Now i have added up the Stumbleupon.com button with Redit.com button at the top corner of the post, both are good social bookmarking websites.

Post [Via] Link:
The posts made from now on would have the Via link in them. Showing from where they have been taken, remember i don't believe in Copy/Paste Material. What ever is posted is written in my own writings, the only thing missing in that is the source the information had been taken. Anyways, now this would be taken under care.

Addition of an Author:
Kate is a very good friend of mine, and we have always had a common interest 'technology'. She asked me whether she could write articles on this blog and i totally agreed. You may not see her name with posts, because she gives me writings and then i post them. But maybe she makes a blogger account too and post herself. She is a good addition by the way.

MyBlogLog.com Community:
Well, the community is doing good and the numbers are increasing. Those who have joined in, i thank them with heart. MyBlogLog.com has always been promising and it gives a very nice platform for bloggers to show off their blogs.

Google Friend Connector:
Added this just lately, hope it would be a good improvement in the blog !!

Well, this was all from my side. I would be posting more tech in the next month but would try to post as much during this busy February.

Have a nice day !!

Thanks,
Minty (Tech43.net Author)
