No, this isn’t a post about an application that would make my life complete, but rather about an online competition you may, or may not, have heard of.
Although, in a way, perhaps it is about that mythical application. Who knows.
My Dream App is an online competition, in much the same vein as Pop Idol, or X-Factor, in which contestants submit their ideas for applications (Mac only, sorry) and the general public vote for their favourite. 3 application will eventually win, and be developed into full blown, purchasable products.
The first round of voting has begun, and I thought I’d list off what I picked. All the entries are great, but – I suppose in the spirit of the competition – I’ve voted for the apps that I’d like to play with.
So…
Stick-It, Desktop Wars, Savant Carde, Atmosphere, Blossom, Portal, Puppet Constructor, Minerva, Hijack, SweepIt, iSightSee, Telepath, Whistler, and Ground Control…
…all get my vote. If you’ve not had a read of the ideas yet, or voted, it might interest you. Voters get a free license for the Pzizz software too, something I’ve always fancied having a play with.
Minerva?
That’s the codename for my new application.
The god-damn sneaky thieves.
I vote for Sweep-it – … too much junk … need a broom
