I appreciate your Effort which used for provide some interesting data. The feedback process is definitely not as smooth as it could be / should be. For example, even the popups that show up now in some apps, that ask for a review only link the user to the app’s app store page. It is then up to them to find the ratings section and click on that to get to the “leave a review” page. I recently visit one Iphone App Reviews website, which is also helpful for us.
I've been wondering recently if we http://www.facebook.com/denbigharmysurplus should make more of the "Check-in" apps that are out there.
I use Fourquare personally and when I questioned our Facebook fans, yesterday, they highted the Google Latitude app that works with our Google Places page.Does anyone have any stats, or maybe some real world experience, on which is the most popular or should I embrace Fourquare, Facebook check-in and Latitude?
It is a known fact that any type of business cannot survive in the competitive market without promoting itself. Promotion of products, services and businesses can be done via social media marketing. Facebook is the leading social media network with the largest user base in the world and it has a variety of applications, but which one you choose depends on what type of business you have to offer to consumers. We can utilize Facebook applications to push businesses next level. One such app is the Facebook Marketplace where one can buy or sell anything.
