[Noisebridge-discuss] shameless plug for a friend's iPhone app, but truly a cool app in its own right

[Michael Shiloh]

Hey, I admit this is a shameless plug, but Christopher really is a very 
clever guy and his app sounds like it could be of use in many, many 
projects.

Hi,

As many of you know, I've been writing my first iPhone app over the last
several months.  This morning, the iTunes store surprised me mightily by
approving it in only 3 days.  So it's up!

Moe's Notes is a multi-media note recorder that lets you save audio,
an image or video, text, tags, and GPS coordinates in each note.  You
can edit, sort and search for notes in various ways, as well as email them
and upload to Facebook.

Betty and I figure that it's primary market is "cultural creatives",
which includes many of you, but we also feel that it can be found useful by
anyone who needs to remember ideas, lists, meetings, images, videos, and
other information bits, and have them organized in a central repository.

If you have an iPhone (or an iPod Touch with a microphone) and this sounds
interesting to you, please consider installing it.  To do so, simply
visit the iTunes App Store and search for "Moe's Notes".  The price, for
now, is $1.99.

It would be particularly helpful to Betty and me (and Ruby's college
account, where all the profits are headed) to get as many sales as possible
during the precious "new app" period that Moe's Notes is in right now.  This
would establish us a serious app and possibly get us into a "featured"
list.  ie: Your help could be multiplied many times over if it's provided
NOW.   Thank you very much!

If you like the app, it would also be of great help if you could write a
good review of it!  And if you know anyone who works for an online or
print media source that has anything to do with reviewing iPhone apps,
PLEASE let us know.

FYI:  There are over 140,000 iPhone apps out there.  Though the market
is more meritocratic than most, it's still quite hard to be noticed in the
crowd.  I feel I've written a solid piece of software, but as with any
product, marketing is half the battle. Community is perhaps the strongest
asset we have right now.  Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,
Christopher and Betty
