Niklas Agevik's blog - 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way I have a lot of people to thank for this post - too many to mention that have shared their knowledge with me. But above all, this post would not have been possible without the team we have at Instabridge. So, 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way: 1) Buying downloads is cheap. Facebook is cheapest, AdMob is second cheapest. 2) Having an app that requires a user’s friends to use the app is a problem to be solved, not a viral hook. 3) Users uninstall apps aggressively. 3) Retention is your most important measure. 4) The younger users are, the more they hate having to login with Facebook. 5) Learn App store SEO (AEO). 6) In Western Europe and the US, Android fragmentation is a negligible problem when you start out. 7) You need to have a QA process from the start. 8) Mixpanel is the gold standard for measurements in mobile apps. 9) One hour of user testing will tell you more about user behaviours than reading articles like this. 13) The app market is local.

PHOTO the next set of posts... The Machine The Machine Aaron Sherwood-Blog Firewall is an interactive media installation created with Mike Allison . A stretched sheet of spandex acts as a membrane interface sensitive to depth that people can push into and create fire-like visuals as well as expressively play music. The original concept stems from a performance piece I’m currently developing as Purring Tiger (with Kiori Kawai) titled Mizalu, which will premiere in June 2013. During one scene in the performance dancers will press into the spandex with the audience facing the opposite side. Mizalu is about death and experience of reality, so this membrane represents a plane that you can experience but never get through. As hard as you try to understand what’s in between life and death, you can never fully know. The piece was made using Processing, Max/MSP, Arduino and a Kinect. User Testing:
