Why do all of these guys seem to want to control the value judgment on apps?

His statement is a very revealing part of the ecosystem problem that is puzzling: "we don’t want people coming back and sending us the same app over and over. For us, it’s about quality apps".

Who decides quality? If the app developer is building something they (and their intended audience) deem valuable, why would anyone else think that they can make a better value judgment?

Don't we stifle innovation? If only a few set of apps will get accepted for a given category, do you never get innovation since subsequent apps can't be submitted? how fast do you get saturation?

And what about the long tail of applications? Every day I find a ton of new websites on the web I never knew about. If network providers decided to limit the number of "quality political blogs" - which one's on the Internet would they choose?

And what about competition? If they decide which apps make it, do they effectively stifle competition and create an unfair advantage on the one's that are deemed quality?

If only 10 people "care about an app" - why do you really care? In a long tail business, which mobile apps and content should be, you should not care. Do you not understand that still?

These are particularly challenging issues for carriers - mainly because their walled gardens are coming down and they just don't know how to think beyond lock-in and proprietary processes.

Embrace open. Let users and developer's decide and let the ecosystem evolve independent of your desire to lock in and control it. That's how you'll be able to attract the most users and developers (and thus monetization opportunities) on to your platform.

Love to hear more of the results if you could send them to me, working on a new version of the Twitter presentation I recently gave and some good case studies are hard to come by.

Re: Brierwood Design: Tetris Part II -- A Titanium Fan-boy is Born

Thanks... glad it brought some cheer somewhere. A classic like Tetris never dies. Funny, that version was originally a fun experiment to write an entire SVG javascript client using LISP macros. Now it serves as a nice test piece when trying out new technologies, because in the end you actually have something engaging to show. We intend to build some real applications using this type of desktop technology very soon :)

Thanks for the awesome write up! And cool game! Everyone was playing it around here today... :)

Re: Measure or Die

jhaynie — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:08:07 -0000

We are tracking these metrics very closely and we're actually finding more and more impact from social media metrics and interesting engagement trends.

For example, we did an experiment last month where we tracked just one tweet we had made (corporately) and we were able to directly measure the count to around 5K people via retweets of that one tweet.

We're also developing several tools and measurement vehicles and working with an outside agency to help us with these efforts.

Yeah, I'd like to participate for the development of Titanium as much as possible.
I've already posted the message on discussion forum and also reported bugs(with patches)!

Thank you for reading this blog.

I've been seeking good cross-platform and open source GUI framework and finally found the solution. It's Titanium!
I am planning to use Titanium to add beautiful GUI for my native C/C++ program.

Thanks for your comments. The platform will always be free as in beer and under a permissive license. We intend to monetize through value-added cloud services around the platform that give you, the developer, very demonstrable ROI - but that don't lock you out (or in). You can always develop these capabilities on your own. It will be a simple cost vs. benefit equation - and one that we think you'll like.

In our opinion, open source platforms are the only viable solution for these types of horizontal platforms.
Thanks for your review.

Re: Bring in the Alloys: What's New in Titanium PR2

jhaynie — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:22:48 -0000

Hey Jake,

PR2 is now available.

We never really intended to refactor PR1 to PR2 the way we did - but then again, do you ever start writing code with the intention to re-write it again later? :) We knew after PR1 we wanted to address reusability of code with PR2 as we added support for Linux. PR1 had separate code bases for Windows and OSX - we couldn't bare having a 3rd that was separate. It's not sustainable. PR2 was a ground up re-write that now gives us like ~90% reusability and it's re-written for highly optimized C++ via our new super cool Kroll microkernel.

We have a long way to go but with guys like Keeto and other terrific people like Constantin cheering and helping out, we'll get there very very fast! I love our community.

Wow, what a wonderful write-up. We're very grateful for your detailed article and very excited with the reaction.

This is why I love open source and open communities. Together, we can take something and make it better. We can turn your criticisms into fixes and make the world a better place -- one app at a time.
