Startup Talk: Apptank wants to be the Elance of mobile app development
Mar 23rd
Everyone wants an app these days, no matter how silly it is. The Fart app for example or even the “are you a moron?” test app. Don’t fall for the bad press but the app trend is upward thanks to 6 major app platforms including iOS, Andorid and Windows Phone. Companies now want a presence in app stores at any cost given the rate of media consumption these devices have sparked. But there is one problem – the companies have ideas but not enough developers to convert them into useful apps. There have been solutions to such developer problems – why not head to developer exchanges such as Elance? The problem is the clutter. Developers tend to be jack of all trades on Elance and hence the focus on app quality may suffer. There is one solution now – Apptank, an Oklahoma based start up has created a one of its kind developer exchange for mobile apps only.
So what’s so special? How about $100,000 in app submissions a week? Yup, the ecosystem is so hot right now that Apptank sees absolutely no slowing down in app submissions in the near term. The focus on mobile apps and a developer qualification program makes Apptank one of those niche providers who add immense value to your app development process. Apptank also makes it possible for companies to spend less time on developing and more on marketing their app. Some success stories have also been to spend a portion of their development budget on marketing thanks to a competitive bidding process that seeks to minimize development costs.
Entrepreneur Outfitters out Startup Checklist mobile App for those daunting government contracts
Mar 21st
Government contracts are like unicorns, at least for startups. The super stringent norms and red tape could discourage any entrepreneur from making a bid in the all too closed world of government contracts. However, there’s help at hand. Entrepreneur Outfitters – an early stage VC firm has outed a mobile app that could make lives of entrepreneurs a little more streamlined when trying to bid for a government contract. Aptly named Start up checklist the app lets entrepreneurs prepare for Uncle Sam’s contracts through a 36 step checklist.
The checklist allows an entrepreneur to make sure she gets everything right before and after landing a contract. This app is quite cool since a lot of fine points are covered by the app that only an expert could tell you. This was earlier available as a handbook from EO for $150. But now you can get the app for about 8 bucks. It’s a great deal given that you don;t have to maintain the papers anymore. Go give it a try, it’s available for Android and iOS.

Ever wondered when the whole “app” thing began? Sure Apple made these tiny pieces of purpose built software famous thanks to the iPhone but just so that you know, these apps have been around for a very long time. The market leader was Nokia’s Symbian OS a couple of years ago but Apple’s iOS has taken the spot since the iPhone made its entry. Today about 6 major app platforms exist, making them the most download pieces of software ever. Infographic after the break.
The Dark Side of the Cloud

Yes! I am an Avid Pink Floyd fan….and being Indian gives me a birth right to plagiarize the little things in life. Muhahaha! Now that the evil laughter is out of the way, down to business. I’ve been reading a lot about the impending ‘Cloud computing’ revolution in the IT circles. A phenomenon which is supposed to be the next big disruptive technology (after the iPad). In a nutshell for those who don’t quite get what all the hullabaloo is about, here goes.
