Come on people! They are trying only to get attention!!! This is called
suspense! I agree that they should mention app name in message, but we
could have said a little nicely... They are only trying to help us... After
all, whats the delete key for? I really like these reviews and the only
thing i ask is the app name be put so people know what they are clicking.
Was i not nice? Well, apologies, not towards anyone! Let's all smile haha!

Thank you Alex for that input I really do appreciate it. You are very
right. I do not click on links that say click here to read full post. I
will try and do a better job with these in the future.

I don’t think anyone here is trying to put down the work you guys have
done, and yes, website traffic is the goal of most blogs and similar
services. However, this:
Check out this app, number 6 on our Top Ten Apps list: [url]
says nothing except that you only had time to type up a sentence and then
paste the link. This:
Check out Sendero GPS, number 6 on our Top Ten Apps! With Sendero GPS,
you can plan routes, explore distant locations, discover nearby points of
interest, figure out where you are, and so much more! Check out our
review: [url]
makes me really want to know more, because that sounds like a great app
and I want to know what else you have to say about it.
To be very clear: I have no problem whatsoever with you guys posting
these app picks here, and I even welcome it as it lets newer list members
in on some possibly useful tools for them to go try. However, when is the
last time you clicked a link because someone basically said “click this
link†? I never do, and I’m sure most people don’t, because I have
absolutely no idea what the link goes to and if it is worth it. Giving us
just a one-sentence summary of the app, and the app’s name, provides
that missing information and will, it seems to me, make people more
likely to click through to the website. Maybe I’m off base here, but
those are my opinions. Again, I’m more than fine with you guys posting
content like this, and would suggest doing it more than once a year, but
you may want to look at how you are trying to draw people in.

Hello Christopher,
As the Senior Partner at Fedora Outlier I thought long and hard about
having anybody from the firm posting about these daily blogs to this
list just because I was worried about this type of negative reaction.
Our team has been working very hard on this list and you are 100%
correct when you say that we are trying to get some attention for our
website. If I am not mistaken this is what is done every day on the
Internet, and because our list is talking about iOS apps I thought that
there would be some people on this list that might enjoy reading our
posts.
Let me clue everyone into how this list has developed. Each one of our
team members picked one of the apps in the list and then wrote up a post
about that app. This way we were assured of having very different styles
of writing which in my opinion would make for some interesting reading.
I believe that we have accomplished this.
When you make the statement that this list has a drum role feel to it
you hit the nail right on the head. This is the whole point of any kind
of a countdown.
Finally, everyone on this list or any other list in which people post
blog snip its in order to get people to go to their websites have the
right not to click that link or to just delete the post, however, I do
not think that it is fair for those of us who are working very hard on
trying to create content that hopefully the community will like, should
be ridiculed for just trying to get noticed.
I have said my peace on this and I would hope that others on this list
will not hold my words against me if I have said anything in this
message to offend them. Believe me, if I did then I apologize because
it was not my intent.
Scott Rumery
