Late night coffee while I’m stuck at work. It seems like these issues wait till five o’clock to kick off. I’m actually writing this post as more of a test. I’m using the new WordPress application for the iPhone. Strange there wasn’t an update released for the first app, they just released a completely new one. The interface seems nicer but hey it’s free so anything is better than nothing. Something @msmamet said to me a while ago. People will complain more when something that’s free or cheap doesn’t work opposed to when something that’s expensive won’t. I know that sounds odd but it’s if you think about it, it’s easy for someone to spend a dollar on something that doesn’t work, bitch about it sucking and forget about the dollar. But if someone spends 0 on something that doesn’t work, their more willing to spend the time to troubleshoot. I guess it could be because people feel they made an investment they’ll work with when they spend more money. Or I feel it could be human natural reaction to not look stupid. If you go blowing 0 on something that doesn’t work. The last think you want is to look like a moron who just blew 0. You might even find yourself defending what you bought even if it’s a piece of crap just to avoid looking stupid, which in turn makes you look dumber. What @msmamet and I are targetting at the time were iPhone apps. If you develop paid apps, you should concider what you charge. I not saying charge $100, but you may not want to release it for only a dollar. Then again, it’s late, I’m at work and I could just be losing it from a lack of sleep.
You decide, and what do you think?
