How difficult would it be to create an iPhone App that notifies dedicated fans

relay/node.

Hi Louis,
Great Idea
Well, seems to me that one could start by leveraging what is already in
place.
There are a number of RSS/ATOM feed readers for the iPhone (and one
assumes iPad) already.
What would could be done on our side is to create an aggregation, (per
the planet ) or separate blog (marketing revived?) dishing up content
appropriate for the users (hand held OO.o users I suppose is the way to
name that group??). Now setup a ATOM/RSS feed with appropriate markup
for the devices.
At least it seems like a way to go - off the top of my head.
A next step could be an OO.o branded reader and that would be cool I
suppose.
Only caution on that would be the numbers put out recently by Flurry
relating to app retention rates - so I would say a better ROI would be
to have a feed in place, specific to that audience, and let the user
choose their reader.
Then of course we would need to let the world know that the feed
exists...yes.
anyway - just my quick thoughts.
Drew
ps:
The Flurry numbers I mentioned for retention:

Perhaps more important to us, IMO, are these numbers:

Look at the sweet spot that productivity is sitting in - the market is
waiting for someone to catch that crowd and they are waiting to be
caught..IMO.
