Its official. Grades is one of the 15 finalists in the AppStar Awards in the “utility and other” category. A few days ago, I blogged about why I spent 8+ hours to make the entry video. Well, it looks like it was worth it!
Whether I win or not is secondary. Being a finalist means I get 49 seconds of concentrated attention from 25 of the most influential people on the web. If just a few of them like the app, they could generate significant buzz.
So go ahead and browse all the finalist demos and give Grades a thumbs up if you like (make me happy). There are quite a few interesting apps in the bunch. It should be fun to watch.
Dude! Congratulations!! That’s awesome.
Thanks, Joe.
Congrats on making the grade.
Haha, thanks.
Congrats, Jeremy! That’s definitely a great achievement! Good luck in the finals…
Nice work man! Fun to see it all coming together. A plan in action…
Dave and Frypan: thanks. Dave, I’ll take that in both contexts (my finals are around the same time).
Hey, nice to see your hard work pay off! You’re video was pretty funny too. I must say though the competition is stiff. Most of the videos were well put together, and the apps seem interesting. I had my eye on the iFLYPT app after watching that video.
I agree. There are a lot of cool apps in the mix. The cool thing is that all of the finalists, whether they win or not, get judged by some of the most influential people on the web which could open up opportunities down the road.
Congratulations!
I hope being one of the finalists will help you to promote your app)
Thanks Tatiana, I think it will.
