That’s why people are in a frenzy over Pinterest I suppose, but it’s tough when the new hip distribution channels have a narrow demographic user base. Like Pinterest is all Moms right? I work with Apptopia, first marketplace to transfer mobile app ownership. I can only hope that years down the line people will wish they had listed their mobile app on our site to be acquired sooner.
