Mplayit Launches Facebook Page that Links Playable Discovery for iPhone and Mobile Apps Directly to Mobile User’s Social Network and Introduces ‘Apptivity’ As True Ranking Measure
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19 —Mplayit (www.mplayit.com), the new online destination that seeks to transform the mobile content discovery experience, today unveiled its revolutionary “playable” app store on Facebook. The social networking features will help to build mobile app discovery among consumers in a way that can potentially challenge the App Store.
Mplayit introduces “playable discovery” in its new Facebook app store for the iPhone today and said it would add Android and Blackberry in the coming months. Rather than hunting and pecking for reviews and top lists, the Facebook page shows real “apptivity” that is going on in app stores so users can see what apps are receiving the most downloads, reviews, plays, etc. In coming weeks, mobile users will also be able to see the “apptivity” within their social network, so they can clearly see what apps their friends and family are most interested in.
Integrating the “playable discovery” experience with a mobile user’s social network is a powerful combination that can alter discovery and interaction in the face of skyrocketing numbers of mobile applications.
