Twitterrific 2.0 is a well made update to the critically acclaimed, 2008 Apple Design Award winning, Twitter app. The app is definitely geared more towards the Twitter power user, but it has enough charm to delight the masses. If Iconfactory addresses just a couple of issues in the near future, Twitterrific could become my Twitter app of choice (or at least in my 3 app rotation).

The Challenge
If we changed our name to 180apps.com, what would our new slogan be?

The iPhone App Developers have a particularly awesome tool at their disposal: Promo Codes. Not only do these promo codes allow sites like 148apps to review all the apps we do, but they’re often used for contests as well. Primarily, we’ve been using Twitter as a way to give out promo codes for contests, but I’ll be honest with you, the response isn’t always that great. So in an attempt to include everyone who visits our site, we’re going to be expanding our giveaways onto the blog.

As we continue to grow at 148Apps, we’ve added a great list of writers, all producing the really fantastic reviews you expect. But it’s time to take 148Apps up another notch. It’s time to expand. Part of that involves finding an assistant editor, someone to help keep the editorial focus fine tuned and on course while I start building the next great version of 148Apps. In addition, we need to expand our writing tribe to allow us to expand our publication.
If you think you might be interested in joining us, or you know of someone who might be interested, read on for the details.

Over this weekend it came to our attention that at least one iPhone app review site is doing some things that would seem to severely tarnish their editorial integrity. While we here at 148Apps are still a tiny little site, we want to make some things absolutely clear.
While we accept advertising on our site as a way to keep the ever-growing site going, we will never let those ads influence our reviews in any way. This includes the outcome of the review itself along with what applications we decide to review and when we review them.
On this subject, Steve over at Slide To Play had a great editorial on Friday that sums up my feelings and our guidelines much better than I could ever hope to.
In association Steve and some honest folks at other iPhone app review sites, we’re going to develop the oath he mentions. Simply, that oath will state that we don’t take money for reviews. Though it will probably be a little wordier than that.
While you may not agree with all of our reviews, they are all the honest opinion of the reviewer. And even if that other site continues to do things a little shady, we plan on keeping our integrity and hope that in the end, even if it doesn’t make us the most popular, it will make us better.
At 148apps.com we have always taken pride in putting out great reviews not lots of reviews. We only publish reviews for about 1 in 30 of the apps we try out. But with the number of apps coming out, we need to start publishing more reviews. That means we need more quality review writers. If you think this is something you might be interested in doing, read on for further details.
