MyAppIdea is one step further than App Incubator. Besides just collecting bright ideas and doing internal selecting of the best ones for actual development, MyAppIdea has also a voting mechanism, so users can take part in validating the originality and usability of the proposed application for iPhone. The best app ideas can get to App Hall of Fame and be selected for development.  In this case user who proposed the idea can get a non-specified revenue share in this application.

MyAppIdea is first of its kind application but at the moment it is rudimentary and hopefully will be improved soon. It is a shame that you can not see the actual real-time vote ranking in the list of ideas. Switching between description is quite clumsy with small buttons (why not using finger swipe?). Please add “report abuse” button for ideas that alreadyhave confirmed implementations in AppStore. I wish that MyAppIdea could be extended into some type of marketplace where developers can take part in it too. If developer who picked the idea for implementation will be able to report the progress this will be really cool so everyone can see how different developers working on the same app are progressing. It is also necessary to make revenue sharing terms clear.

thread logo Thread Raises $1.2 Million From Sequoia, Founders Fund, First Round Capital, And Ron Conway
Thread is a dating application on Facebook that suggests potential matches that has just raised a new round of funding.  The company raised $1.2 million from Sequoia Capital, the Founders Fund, First Round Capital, and angel investor Ron Conway.

Thread was founded by several former PayPal product managers.  “The best people to date are friends of friends,” stated Thread CEO Brian Phillips. “Not all the best people are on dating sites. All the best people are on Facebook.”  Phillips recently went on his third date with someone he met on Thread.

Thread pulls in your contact information using Facebook Connect and pulls the public profiles of all your friends.  Through the website, you can find out which friends of your friends are single and ask you mutual friend to introduce you.  Stalking at its finest.

Thread was originally known as Frinto (friend+intro) but decided to change their name.  The Thread.com domain name was already taken and it took them two years to negotiate a deal over the ownership.  The owner was told that they would receive equity if the business was successful.  If it wasn’t successful, the owner would get the domain name back.

vonage logo Vonage IPhone Application Approved, But You Can’t Download It Yet

Vonage Holdings Corporation (NYSE:VG) sent out a press release that Apple has approved their mobile application, but nobody can download it yet because they’re still beta testing.  Availability is not yet known. Vonage also recently announced the launch of Vonage World with an unlimited calling plan.

It is assumed that the Vonage iPhone application will allow you to make and receive calls using your Vonage phone number.  It is uncertain whether the application will work on 3G or not.

Why did Vonage send out a press release?
Perhaps it is because Google Voice had a struggle to make it through the App Store acceptance process.  Nowadays making it through the process within a respectable amount of time is a personal victory.
