Zwapp Puts A Social Layer Over Your iPhone Apps: Sharing what mobile apps you have in a social network has been... http://tcrn.ch/kQ1nQK Sharing what mobile apps you have in a social network has been tried various ways. Appsfire hit on the idea of socialising apps. Zwapp is coming at it from a slightly different angle. Its iPhone app (iTunes link) auto-discovers what apps you have on your iPhone and connects up your contacts, Facebook and Twitter friends. You then follow people who's opinion's you respect when it comes to apps. It even has a live feed where you can see what apps your friends are using and downloading (privacy is now most definitely over it would seem). Link - Trackbacks

(Fly Or Die) Can TweetDeck's New iPhone App Survive A Twitter Acquisition http://tcrn.ch/mzqTmp by @erickschonfeld TweetDeck's new iPhone app came out a couple days ago. It is completely redesigned from the ground up and looks more like it's Android cousin than the first TweetDeck for iPhone. Instead of cramming as much as possible into an iPhone screen, TweetDeck stripped everything out but the essentials. The result is a spare mobile stream reader that packs a lot of punch. We take a look at the new TweetDeck for IPhone in this episode of Fly or Die, along with Soundtracking, and Zapd. As usual, the CEO behind one of these products appears as a surprise guest during the show. With Twitter rumored to be negotiating a $50 million acquisition of TweetDeck to keep it out of the hands of Bill Gross' UberMedia, it is not clear whether this brand new product will survive such a deal. After all, Twitter has its own iPhone client, among others. It doesn't need two. Link - Trackbacks
