Holy shit! I believe this here is a genuine hipster argument on Hacker News! Face it none of you are cool enough to even be a hipster.

Of course it is!

These numbers are real.

Classic title

Speak for yourself! Ill take a handout!!! :D

the game continues while you are offline so if you go away you might have been beat up a few times but you will be all recharged and ready to go.

yeah lets work on something that matters like mailing in twitter posts...

1. itunes store distribution 2. easy way to charge iphone users 3. it looks and plays way better than a iphone web app could

there are issues for sure. the bank seems like something we should look at. the forums are mentioning this too

switching the art is easy (for us) making the thing in the first place is the hard part.

Typos=features

You buy apps that unlock virtual currency so the entire game is open but you have to pay to get ahead quicker.

WTF does addher (addmired or whatever) do?

Number 12? seriously?

I see you do reward $10 per hour per fan when you buy a hat logo deal. Not very obvious though and encouraging them to get more "fans" when they buy the hat deal would good. :)

MUCH BETTER! Using Mob Wars as a template was a wise choice.

Still the invite component needs to be pushed harder. You aren't enforcing team size requirements for running missions and you aren't rewarding people for building rosters of real players.

OH, and you forgot to put in Offerpal. This is a great game for Offerpal. :)

Is this some sort of mantra or are you thinking out loud?

Whatever you think about this new direction for spokeo one thing is for sure, its working.

Thats why you build these things before you build your product.

rtf whats your email?

HUH???? This guy points to a app that is tricking people to send invites as an example of an app that is growing under the new redesign? Newsflash! tricking people to send invites will result in massive growth under ANY design.

Besides, I call bullshit on redesign being at fault for the app fallout. The real culprit is the ban on incentivized invites.

Think about it this way, you can crank out 10 apps a month and your bills get paid OR you can work on one app for 6 months and risk crashing and burning or even getting rejected. Its not to hard to see why the apps are low quality. Its a symptom of the iphone app market.

The console game industry has the cure to this but it isn't pretty: $30k dev kits, minimum funding/budget requirements, and long approval processes

Personally I would rather stick with the current apple approach. The crap apps are cheap (or free) and if you have the guts to make a serious app its easier to stand out.

OH yes the redesign is killing apps. But wasnt that the point?

This has been going on since the birth of the record industry. The only thing different about the present and the past is the volume of chatter about the subject.
