Touch Podium Updates, and Then Some…

by Jody Mitoma on September 30, 2008 at 8:44 pm

Dearest readers,

I write to you all again this evening to share some exciting news. Eric and I have been hard at work on releasing our The Free App Store Review (a.k.a Frapstr) blog, cleaning things up on the Touch Podium blog, and at the same time, raising the bar for our (or should I say Eric’s) app store reviews. Keep up the great work, Eric! Also, as Eric has already announced yesterday evening, Frapstr will be getting its own domain name and URL, which will make it easier to remember, and give it a more professional feel.

Frapstr aside, I’d like to announce this evening that I will most likely be revealing our third project in the making. First it was Touch Podium, then it was Frapstr, and then came…… hey wait a minute, I’m not quite ready to announce just yet. All I can say as of now is that it is another full-blown blog like Touch Podium, but has nothing to do with Apple’s iPhone and/or iPod touch.

Once the third project has been announced and revealed, Eric and I will be spending great amounts of time on our fourth project in the making. Yes, a fourth project already. We’re keeping busy! There is one thing I will say about our fourth project, and that is that it’ll take a hell of a long time to finish up. Don’t expect any announcements about the project until around Christmas time. That’s still two months away from now. Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to make it worth the wait.;)

New projects aside, I’d like to point out that I’ve been busy making a few changes here at Touch Podium as well. Touch Podium is our “baby”, after all. It’s were it all started. October 14th will mark the nine-month anniversary of Touch Podium’s establishment, and I won’t lie, that 3/4’s of a year just flew by in absolutely no time. Touch Podium has undergone an astonishing amount of changes since it’s debut on January 14th, and we’ll keep on making changes as long as it gives you, our viewers, a better reading experience.

One of the added functions to Touch Podium is the addition of a “Featured” articles category. The Featured category will display a small blue image that reads “FEATURED”, so that it is easier to pin-point from the crowed of stories. To go with the new “Featured” category, I’ve taken the time to add a sidebar widget, which displays the 10 latest Featured stories posted on Touch Podium for easy access.

Another thing I added this evening is the very top bar you see on every page on Touch Podium. This makes it easier to access all of the websites from within The Podium Network, at the click of a mouse, including The Podium Network website itself.

Like usual, I’d appreciate any and all suggestions that’ll make Touch Podium, The Free App Store Review, and The Podium Network as a whole, better for you, our readers. We do this for you, so of course your opinion matters the most.

Update:
A HUGE thanks goes out to Jack for purchasing www.frapstr.com for us, and having the original website redirect to the purchased URL. We couldn’t thank you enough for doing this for us.

Update 2:
Unfortunately, in fear of having the URL bought before we are ready to purchase it (not because of you, Jack. We’re just going to be careful with this one because it is more generic), I won’t be able to reveal The Podium Network’s third project this evening. The announcement will have to wait about a week longer, even though the website is near-completion status. My apologies in advance, readers.

Thanks for reading, and best regards to you all.

Your Touch Podium Founder,
Jody Mitoma
