Is there a site that lists "top apps" from various/all countries ? - Kishore Balakrishnan

Classic... - Rob Kramer

That says it all - Darrell Bell

So when are they going to release an app for "Ow! My balls!" - April Buchheit

@April... +100 - Harold from fftogo

+++April - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Is the UK bestseller just a re-packaging of CIA world factbook? Or is there more to it? - Hiro Asari

You see, we gotta test for moron's the UK teaches them - Ryan Gerritsen

What does "we gotta test for moron's the UK teaches them" mean? - Gabe

Our beer-drinking football-hooligan contingent are still saving up for their iPhones. - Tim Tyler

World Cup Ping Pong here in France, don't know what that means ?! - Benoit Cazenave

"Zoom in / Camera zoom" : the Top Paid App in Switzerland - tomavana

I'd suggest that in *paying* for an app called "The Moron Test" you've already passed it. - thepete

thepete: passed or failed? - Gabe

that was really great kevin :) - Alp

Is there anything else interesting about the rest of the list? - David Chartier from BuddyFeed

Hilarious! - Vera Hannaford

crushingly depressing. ugh. - daisy

as a dual national US/UK, I can safely say I'm glad to live here. - wannagot from twhirl

World cup ping pong is the top paid app in Italy too. And even top free app. What's the point with that? - ialla

Hehe - WoH: Minding her Steves

Excellent catch! :) - Özkan Altuner

The engineer in me is irritated by the simple apps make it to the top of the AppStore; the artist in me is delighted :) - Ian

sad, but funny - Rick Cogley

Proud to be an American! LOL - Susan Beebe

Don't need no stinkin' facts... - The original Kevin

But it's got a red button! - Brian Bufalo

One thing I have noticed is that in any ovie, v show, etc where anything odd happens, the English are always portrayed as standing in place saying something like "This can't be happening" or some stupid thing like that, when it clearly IS happening. Is this some sort of national trait? I like to think that if, say, the dead rise and turn on the living, I would fight back + run to safety FIRST and worry about the ontological implications after. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

Here Neal, you dropped an "m" and a "t" :) - Richard Walker

well, it's almost a month later but anyway in Canada the top three are currently Sims 3, StoneLoops and StickWars - Richard Akerman

My cousin dl'ed the Moron Test and tried to get me to take it. I told him he'd already failed because he was a moron for buying it in the first place. He was unamused. I wasn't. - Hookuh Tinypants

Lol Amanda - AJ Batac :)

To be fair, he's kind of a tool, so it's less a reflection of the app and more a reflection of how much I want to throw him off the nearest high-rise. - Hookuh Tinypants

I notice that the U.S. is no longer a nation of morons -- for the last few days, "The Sims 3" is #1, so we're now a nation of replicants. - Stephen Mack

wow, just like Cuil - only with relevant results :) wonder how much Y! could get from MS for this - Adam Kazwell

Sam you rock, this was my first thought on seeing cuil, "someone could write something better using yahoo's search apis in an afternoon" - Jason Wehmhoener

"Searching enough web pages" - brilliant - Michael C. Harris

Yes, great post. It makes a lot of sense and I think it is a much better perspective to how to get attention (if you want attention) than the whole "personal branding" thing. Definitely thought provoking. - Lindsay

Thanks Jesper. I like the way you put it. Stay authentic, stay true to your own experiences. That's how people care about what you write. - Hutch Carpenter

Thanks Lindsay. I hadn't thought about it in the context of personal branding, but you're right. Personal branding does sound like an exercise in artificially marketing yourself. Ideally, you're sharing things that are consistent with what makes you tick. - Hutch Carpenter

Reading it now - was just reminded of Dare's post "Giving Sh*t away is not a business strategy..." Didn't MS pioneer this concept with IE? - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Regarding the strong narrative, one of the reasons I share a lot of personal information in my Mashable posts (which might seem out of place at first blush) is because what drives attention is the exclusive, and no one has the exclusive on my life experiences but me. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

"When they share something, it’s really part of the larger narrative they’ve been sharing with a lot of people over time." - On what basis do you say this ? how can it be a 'larger narrative' when for the most time they have never spoken about it in the first place ? e.g breaking news on a product or some company decesion etc etc ? Are you saying that just because people are constantly on the circuit (sharing) therefore value is created by them and thus, having the "worshipful flock" scenario ? - Peter Dawson

Mark - that's an interesting thing you do. You're right - no one else shares your experiences. I definitely enjoy following your story. - Hutch Carpenter

Love this site. Maybe we'll no longer have to have the same debates over and over again. This could be the reference place for arguments for/against so we can all go and "catch up" before we start a discussion. - Jesper Joergensen

Cool! - Mitchell Tsai

Interesting site. Too bad that most issues worthy of debate have politics either at their core or feeding from them. - JCunwired

That's true Jesper. Once a fight breaks out on a site, tell the combatants to take it to Opposing Views. Come back after they've satisfied their arguing urges. - Hutch Carpenter

Does it disallow ad hominem attacks? That would be a start. - Larry Huffman
