New Blog

I've started a new blog - The Nu Web. Ok, so names aren't my strong point ...

I'll continue posting here about my start up adventures, but my new blog will be used to post about my web theories (and ideas I won't be pursuing myself). Check it out!!

Musings

I've been thinking a bit about some new projects. I think that there may be a few options for "the next big thing" but I just can't get them straight in my head. I currently have 2 projects on the go, MLTA and X1, but have a couple more ready to start when I get the time. Actually, even X1 is suffering from a lack of commitment on my part :( MLTA is ready to go but waiting for my business partner to move house and start testing and signing up beta participants.

I think I'll start a new blog to capture some thoughts as I go, and keep this one for projects that are happening.

No effort

My Facebook App (At The Moment ...) now has 72 users. It's been growing in drips and drabs without any effort on my part. I am basically using Appsaholic to advertise other apps on my app, then when I've arned a few dollars, spending it advertising my app. It's a slow process but it is no effort and it's growing. Makes me wonder what would happen if I was to sink $100 into advertising it, but I just don't think it's worth the expense, as the revenue per user is very, very low. I think to earn an average income an app would need a very large amount of users who use the app every day. ATM only gets used by a few people per day even though it has over 70 subscribed.

New project

I've done a write up for a new idea I've had, codenamed X1, and passed it on to my business partner for review. Unless he finds anything majorly wrog with it, I'll get cracking on it ASAP.

That's one of the bonuses of having a business partner; the chance to bounce ideas off each other. I often find that a good idea tends to grow better when other people are involved. The different perspective usually shows up areas of opportunity that the original idea didn't cover, as well as showing up any dumb mistakes :)
