[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
So my friend and I have been going over these scenarios a lot. We are considering the implications of Paid Applications, Freeware Apps, etc. So we want to break the site down into 3 main parts [In terms of cost]: Freeware, Shareware, and Pay-Ware. Upon submitting a program, the creator can choose among those options. I am going to leave it at that for now, as to not release any information that may never actually reach past conceptualization.

Further, as far as fighting the flood of useless applications, I was thinking of a semi-revolutionary new method of doing things. See, the Windows Marketplace charges Devs to place applications, strongly limiting the number of apps up there ... and OMarket, I BELIEVE [last time I checked], has a policy of reviewing EVERY submission. I don't have a team large enough to QUICKLY review all submissions, and I have to admit that is what I hated a lot as a Dev working with that service. It took 1+ days to get a new version posted. So our plan is quite new in that regard. Basically, ANY application that is going to be Freeware or Shareware can be submitted IMMEDIATELY, with limitations. Freeware, can go immediately as it will have no monetary effect on people, Shareware can go up as FREE until it is reviewed. Applications on the website will have a 'seal' deeming them reviewed or not. If a freeware application is uploaded, then reviewed and it fails to pass our tests, the Developer will be contacted about the removal of their program from our site. It will be kept on the site for X days, and the dev will be allowed to write back and back-up why their app should remain on the website. For shareware, if it is submitted and REJECTED, then the option to Purchase will not be enabled. The developer will be contacted, and we will work out if they want the application to be re-done as Freeware on the website, or if they want to plead their case, or if they will 'improve' things we think need to be done to make it an acceptable application.

Now, if we leave all this duty up to a select group of people, this will quickly become a very Biased website. This is why Advertising and Rallying will come in handy. Any application that doesn't have the seal of approval will have DIFFERENT VOTING BUTTONS. The voting buttons at that time will give us feedback as to whether the application is worthy, as per the users. That will be factored in MAJORLY.

Obviously, there are loopholes to this approach, but it will allow for multiple of the same type of program, and weed out the truly bad ones. At the same time, we will be open to give constructive feedback in order to help the Developer become better.

I saw your PM, among the other 5 I got tonight haha, I will talk with my friend and we shall see what we end up doing. Right now, Chicken-EggSolutions is on GoDaddy, and they have been a really good service for us, and we are used to using their systems [limitations and such] ... so we will discuss that when the time comes. Thanks for the offer! We will definitely keep you in mind.

Awesome! We will be in contact when the time comes....

I LOVE THE LOGO. I mean, for a first-draft-ish type logo, it is great. Once we complete the website, we will look into what the Logo should be like, and we will be in contact :)

[On my own note]

I would like to thank everyone, right now, on this day of Giving Thanks [in the USA], for all the support and positive feedback. We will truly make this into a great website with all of your help!

[Err...CoughCough ... Rumor: We are definitely planning on expanding this to Android too...So if you can develop for Android, please contact us...CoughCough]
