Why would I permanently clutter my browser with a toolbar only for those 2 times a year that I'm looking for new software?
Why not just use google and/or one of the countless app-search outlets (versiontracker, cnet, etc.)?
you are certainly right for desktops apps (download.com, softonic etc,.. are great sites) However for business software the situation is slightly different if you cannot afford the usual suspects (Oracle, SAP, etc,..) The good thing about those tool bars is that you can add and remove them easily when you don't need anymore. thks for the feedback in any case
Not cool at all. Why not Google it?
The challenge with generic search engine is the amount of un relevant results you will get. Try niche software product like farm management software and you will get 6.M results. You need a more efficient way to find and review business apps (with advanced filters capabilities) this is what getapp.com is about
It does have the advantage of targeting users who are willing to install software for no good reason.
