I’m thinking about developing an iPhone or Android app called “Big Decision Maker”.  This application will be aimed at middle managers employed by large corporations who are in need of a solid decision making tool.  Rather than wasting valuable time looking at a problem or an issue and then developing a logical solution, you’d simply pull out your smartphone and launch Big Decision Maker.  In mere seconds the application would spit out a decision for you.  Any problem, large or small, solved in seconds.  Thus leaving the up and coming manager with ample time to look busy or prepare for the big meeting.  I’m not able to go into details at the moment, mainly because I have no programming skills and can’t actually begin to develop the app until I learn how to program.  But I promise you that it will be a quality product and you’ll be happy to pay the nominal price of $59.99.

Furthermore, I cannot provide you with any specific launch date but in the meantime you can make a donation to me by using the donation button below. Any money donated to me will be used purely for personal expenses like cigarettes and alcohol so please do not think you are sending me money for any meaningful purpose. Still, I encourage you to be generous, as these are hard times and I can use the money.

WordPress for BlackBerry

I had been hearing about the WordPress for Blackberry app for a while now and this evening I finally got around to installing it on my BlackBerry Curve.  As soon as I installed the WordPress for BlackBerry app I launched it and set up my WordPress blog in a matter of minutes.  I was immediately impressed with this slick little application.  The WordPress for BlackBerry app is clean and compact and runs quite snappy on my T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve.  The interface is very intuitive and without having to read any tutorials I was able to open and view my existing pages and posts with no delay and editing posts was a breeze.  I was going to create this post from my BlackBerry but the battery was in need of a charge but in the morning I am going to upload a quick post from my BlackBerry just to see if the finished product looks as good online as it does within the application itself.  I have high hopes for the WordPress for Blackberry app and will let you know how it works in the days to come.

Android Apps

There are many mysteries to be found in the world of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and today another one of these mysteries came to my attention.  A friend and co-worker had mentioned today that he had written a review on the top 10 Android Apps for smartphones.  This in and of itself was not curious but what he mentioned next caught my attention.  Apparently he had posted this review to his blog and within a day, Google had crawled and indexed this page and it was already ranking quite highly in the search results for Android Apps.  Arguably, Android Apps is a hot topic these days and it comes as no surprise that any content that makes mention of it would be picked up by the search engines.  But it got me wondering.  Does Google have either a special algorithm or human team that tracks hot topics and somehow manipulates search results containing them?  Or was it simply good timing on the part of my friend and he just happened to post on a popular topic just prior to the regular crawl cycle with Google?

I jokingly mentioned that there may be a conspiracy involved here and to be perfectly honest I do not really believe there is any such conspiracy going on at Google to manipulate organic search.  I chalk it up to being at the right place at the right time.  Several new Android based smartphones have hit the market recently and there is a ton of interest in Android Apps so its no wonder that any site covering this trend would see a boost in traffic because of it.  I’m just a little jealous because I am still rolling with a regular old Nokia cellphone and have not yet joined the ranks of the smartphone enabled human population.
