Advertising- the secret weapon in the iphone application arms race

April 14, 2009

Most engineers tend to think ads are a waste of time because they believe their great products will sell themselves.

There’s only one problem with this theory. What if you are trying sell an iPhone application?

The iPhone ecosystem is mighty crowded with 30,000+ applications for sale which means you not only need a great application, but also an ad campaign to go with it.

A new arms race has just begun and it looks like Birdhouse is leading the pack.
