Perhaps not in India? But then again, good to know.
Apple Tops in Computer Tech Support
App Store SEO: The Impact of iTunes Web Preview
“iTunes preview pages rank well in Google search results because they are very search engine friendly for app names. The URL, page title, meta description, meta keywords, and the H1 tag are all loaded with the app name. These pages also have lots of incoming links from every blog entry, review, and so on that uses the iTunes link. I suspect that the Playboy app comes in at #7 because of all the recent news and opinion articles that link to the app as an example of a big publisher that escaped the iTunes sexy app purge.
It is interesting to note that the iTunes preview page uses the “nofollow” attribute for links to the app’s homepage, so the PageRank of the preview page does not convey any benefit to the developer’s site .”
Developers, take note.
Apple Needs to Move the iPad and App Store Out of iTunes
With the iPad coming out in a few weeks, I guess many of you guys are doing some huge spring cleaning at your iTunes installation to cut down the garbage and assure that when the new kid will be in town, everything will be settled for a warm and polished welcome. You’d better do so, but I think this is all wrong.

HippoRemote: Remote Controlling As It Should Be.
You know what, I won’t start this review by telling you what HippoRemote does; I’m going to tell you what it doesn’t instead. HippoRemote doesn’t display your Mac screen on your iPhone. But all the rest is just there, and it’s working greatly.
Brizzly Buys Birdfeed, Goes Free as “Brizzly for iPhone”
“Brizzly is the best way to view Twitter on the web, and now it’s taken the great foundation built by Birdfeed and added new features like lists and saved searches that sync with Twitter, news topics with user-editable explanations (a.k.a. Brizzly Guide), pull-down refresh, tab bar editor and more.”
Dan Moren on the iTunes LP
“For most people, listening to music is something you do while you’re doing something else, not an activity that occupies your entire mind. By contrast, the iTunes LP requires the same kind of attention that you might give to a movie or a book. While that might appeal to the serious music fan, it’s overkill for most consumers.”
Scribe Notes: Beautiful and Rich Notes for iPhone
There are so many apps to take notes on the iPhone, and we’ve covered this subject so many times that I don’t think talking about the ones we’ve featured is even worth anymore. I think the problem with note taking apps mainly resides in the lack of a real multipurpose application that lets you capture any kind of information and organize it into a unified, streamlined interface. No, don’t suggest Evernote please. And yeah, I’m not going to talk about Pastebot here, as its main function is that of capturing the clipboard and, eventually, sync it to your Mac computer. I always would have liked to have this app that could contain most every kind of data (be it photos, text or videos) and keep it stored into a single database.
Today I’d like to talk about a new application we’ve just downloaded from the App Store, it’s called Scribe Notes, it’s beautiful and it allows you to easily enter notes and organize them in notebooks. It’s cool, let’s check it out.
