Isn't it about time ComicBookMovie developed an APP for easier (and/or) more convenient functionality for this site?? I think so..
I would like an editor to revise/repost this editorial but in the main news feed with a POLL to see just how many of us:
(A) use an iPhone (and,or) Android etc. and..
(B) How many would in fact download, buy, or use this app if one were available..
I'm very curious as to how this would impact the site, and firmly believe it would/could do wonders for CBM on a wide spectrum.. Below I've listed a few reasons to why I think so..
1. It's pretty inexpensive to develop..
2. CBM gets a very big, if not vast amount of traffic on it's page everyday. This coming from all fifty US states, and many different countries as well. This could mean endless possibilities on a commercial standpoint. Not to mention the wider base of users it would generate at the same time. With all the little adds that are cleverly placed in apps today are just ways for investors to make $$$ from your more popular FREE apps. BUT ONLY AFTER PAYING to have them placed there.. The more popular the app, the more they fork out for add placement. SIMPLE
(Example) There could be a free version of the CBM app with limited capabilities such as: Signing in, Browsing live news feed, and viewing your personal submitted articles.. As to where the paid version would let you do more, like: Editing your profile, Commenting, and Posting/editing articles etc.
3. Even priced at just $1 the paid version of this CBM app would clean up in revenue. I know I'd pay a dollar to be able to control my account from my mobile device. The more money made by the site, usually only means the more the site can/will offer to to any one user networking through it. Right?
4. Almost EVERYONE either owns, uses, or plans on getting a smart device capable of running apps like this! I heard on HOT99.5 this morning that "in your typical household there are 4 wireless internet ready devises including mobile devices, and by 2013 that number will presumably DOUBLE" Think about it.
But.. That's just a short list of reasons it makes sense to move forward with this idea, I've been saying this to myself for a while now. Total waste of time, Or major step forward for CBM?? You tell Me..
