发布时间:2010-11-12 11:05:32 Tags:,,,

应用商店、应用搜索网站之争的惨烈程度不亚于应用本身之间的大战,现在有一个优秀的第三方网站,兼顾商家和用户的需求,不但可以提供针对多个平台的应用搜索、销售服务,而且还通过鼓励用户相互交流对产品的看法,对应用进行评价,使大家获得双赢。

Appitalism.com这个网站的最大王牌就是社交网络,用该公司的话来说,该网站首先是一个社交互动社区,其次才是一个在线应用商店。

该公司CEO西蒙·白金翰(Simon Buckingham)表示,Appitalism是一个开发放的应用商店,囊括了各种各样的内容,支持用户对这些内容进行讨论、评价和打分,目标是成为用户搜索、购买任何平台最优质应用和内容的最佳终点站。

Appitalism实现这一目标的最大资本在于它的多平台支持策略,不但提供针对个人电脑和电子书阅读器的内容,而且iPhone、Android、webOS、Windows Phone、黑莓、Symbian和Java等智能手机内容也是应有尽有,更不要说适用于Twitter、Facebook和MySpace的应用服务了。

不过,Appitalism认为,用户对该网站销售内容的真实评价,才是Appitalism吸引客流的最大优势。

除了“客观的评价”之外,用户在该网站还可以轻松地聊天,对网站内容进行评论和打分。

Appitalism会采取一些措施鼓励用户的这种活动,比如说经常对产品发表评论的活跃用户,可以得到“应用奖励”,也就是获得一些指定的应用服务内容。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Appitalism launches multi-platform app store with social focus

Competition between app marketplaces and discovery sites is just as heated as it is amongst the apps themselves.

There are now a wealth of third-party sites either listing or directly selling apps for multiple platforms, and finding some form of distinction between them is something that concerns the companies behind them just as much as it does consumers.

Appitalism.com’s trump card is a focus on networking. In the firm’s own words, the site is a social community first, an online store second.

Social selling

“Appitalism was developed as an open marketplace, combining a large variety of content with the ability for consumers to discuss, review and rate that content,” said company CEO Simon Buckingham.

“Our goal is to be the leading destination for consumers seeking to learn about and purchase the highest rated apps and content for any device.”

One vital component in attempting to reach that goal comes in the form of Appitalism’s multi-platform approach.

As well as targeting PCs and eBook readers, the site caters for all the major smartphone platforms and formats – iPhone, Android, webOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java all on board – not to mention the apps aimed at Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

Marketplace meeting

But the reason Appitalism believes consumers will gravitate towards its site rather than others is the honest account its users give each apps it sells.

As well as supposedly ‘unbiased reviews’, users can freely chat, discuss and rate all content on the site.

Members are encouraged to do as such, also, with ‘app rewards’ – which can be redeemed for content from a set calatog – on offer for active users who contribute reviews aplenty across the site. (source:pocketgamer)
