Re: Great Entrepreneurs Will Listen To You But Will Follow Their Own Instincts - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"Yes. This we what we did for our corporate tumblr. But it was a hack and not a default option Not sent from a computer" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Great Entrepreneurs Will Listen To You But Will Follow Their Own Instincts - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"this is why i never used tumblr but maybe why millions like to use it. I am not sure how long this "all vanilla" "we like only" philosophy will persist on the web. The web should feel like the real life and let people interact. Tumblr is GREAT for publishing. Not for interacting" - Ouriel Ohayon

"can you add "search" for faster finding of the file we want to search? otherwise it requires deep browsing which is time consuming and less worth the effort vs finding it in your HD and drag+ drop" - Ouriel Ohayon

Re: Show Me the No Money: Apps For Finding Free Apps - http://www.wired.com/reviews...
"Lore, i want to bring a few precisions on Appsfire and how it works 1. it is not designed to find FREE apps, but the best Apps based on a set of parameters including the price. You will find many suggestions (most) that are not Free priced apps 2. The search engine we've built including advanced filtering (Free,paid, no in app) and the sorting is made automatically based on quality. You also probably noticed how fast it is (just type "ang" see what happens") thanks for the review Ouriel Ohayon Appsfire - CEO" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: AppGratis Is Nothing More Than A Black Hat Marketing Company - http://techyjeremy.tumblr.com/post...
"Jessica, i take here the commitment to let you know the second it happens. in the meantime 3 precisions 1. appsfire is based on unbiaised and unpaid recommendations 2. once a day in distinctive, clearly disclosed sections we may place an add for an app 3. we do not place apps in the top ranks, nor don t want to, nor aim to, nor garantee any performance (as you pointed) 4. our business if you check our site is built on bringing quality and engaged users via a set of developer tools including feedback, notifications, crm and analytics (please check our site) and not distort ranks. Actually the comparison with SEO/Google and what Appsfire does is SPOT ON. We give the choice to the user to ignore ads, if any ad, the app is 100% useful without it. Does that set up appart? future (and apple) will tell but bear this in mind when comparing. For now enjoy the app and do not hesitate to reach out if you want us to help > ouriel@appsfire.com Ouriel Appsfire - CEO" - Ouriel Ohayon

"we mostly work with small developers...and small budgets" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Trouble in app discovery land? What about Appsfire? - http://blog.appsfire.com/trouble...
"Actually you would do us a great favor if you could republish it right here in the comments and please do NOT forget the part where we explain that your app DOES NOT show in our non paid recommendations (meaning the app) and that we DO NOT garantee top ranks position But now i have one question for you: Have you decided to work with us or not yet?" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Why it’s easier to get games discovered on Google Play than Apple’s App Store (exclusive) - http://venturebeat.com/2013...
"that is Assuming the slide #2 is correct: meaning that the the largest part of the downloads come from search. And i am challenging that fact. The large majority of download is NOT coming from search but from top ranks and editorial lists. I would like to see hard data that can prove the opposite. Then if if this is the case i would love to know why search results are so critical to get the discovery curve change so dramatically whether you display one app or 50 apps per page" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Mobile App Deep Linking - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"actually Facebook has been using this for a while in order to detect which apps are installed on your device. on a different note: i am waiting for Twitter to become a TRUE allternative to mobile app install networks. like Facebook did. With the right experience and tracking that could work" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Mobile App Deep Linking - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"There is nothing new about it. URL schemes/handlers have been available for the past 4 years. It s just been poorly implemented by developers and platforms around. The new thing is that now Twitter supports it" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: A Roaming Network For Subscription Music Services - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"so roaming for social features yes. But the key feature which is access to catalog is too limited to justify a full equivalent to mobile operators" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: A Roaming Network For Subscription Music Services - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"Fred, i agree that access to music is becoming a commodity but i don t see the need to get my music from another service if the one i use, say Deezer, or spotify already offer the catalog i need. Why would i need a second music servie which gives me an equivalent access to an equivalent catalog? i think it differs when you talk about digital goods where catalogs are very large. That would be a totally different story if the catalogs were limited and scarce. I would need say Deezer for Jazz and Spotify for classic. but this is not the case at all" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: New study pegs App Store at 800k apps, 56.2% of which are free - http://www.pocket-lint.com/news...
"That number is not accurate. The App store is approaching 820k apps. this number should be reach tomorrow or in 48h. Ouriel Appsfire" - Ouriel Ohayon
Re: So long, break-even - http://www.asymco.com/2013...
"I think the margin is even higher. Add a new layer of "margin" by considering all the iTunes gift cards purchased that are never or just partially used. 100% margin on this. And there is no reason that the iTunes gift Card business has a different non redemption rate than other gift cards on the market" - Ouriel Ohayon

"But Fred if Samsung "owns" the devices which holds your Software, maybe Google will lose at its own game and Samsung will end up also owning the relation with users through its own software as they build it (we start to see things coming out from them)...Imagine an OS by Samsung...What would remain of Google then?" - Ouriel Ohayon

"Very good overview Adam, very thorough. Were you aware of the OpenUDID initiative? We put it on hold when we saw Apple came with IDFA but it looks like the industry is still in search of something more solid and we may consider to look at it again. At the time it gain huge momentum when Apple decided to depricate the UDID" - Ouriel Ohayon
