I’ve had a resurging interest in promoting @mathiask’s inaugural, I am Choking iPhone app this weekend. For whatever reason, I believe in it and want to see it become some sort of meme if possible.
Yes, I am aware that I need help.
So in my haste to get it in front of iPhone bloggers this evening, I cruised over to AllTop, scanned for blogs that looked like they knew how to party with their iPhones and reached out to four of the 50 or so blogs on the list that seemed to cater to apps of this nature. I didn’t write long winded messages about how I’ve loved their stuff forever, I simply wrote:
A friend of mine, @mathiask, created the I am Choking iPhone App that I have reviewed here on my personal blog. If it’s worthy of a mention on/from [BLOG X], that would be awesome. If nothing else though, I thought you may get a kick out of it.
Jerk Alert
What I didn’t do, before I rushed in to blogger outreach mode… was a quick Google Search on “I am Choking App.” Had I done that, I would have saved myself the embarrassment of askinig KRAPPS to take a look at an iPhone app that they had already showcased brilliantly right after the Super Bowl.
Totally my bad.
The Upside
What’s really cool about this story though, is how KRAPPS handled my obvious faux pas. I wasn’t scolded or made to feel stupid. KRAPPS sent me the link to their post about Peyton Manning using the I am Choking iPhone app after he threw that interception…
Phenomenal.
So I’m writing this post as a tribute to krapps.com, the place for out of the ordinary iPhone apps. I am now a blog subscriber, a Twitter follower, and promoter of what they’ve got going on over there. If you have a sense of humor, you should be too.
