    rcdi it only happens when facebook is also blocked, but normally companies don't block the mobile version of msn.

    I noticed that Microsoft Windows Live has introduced a Messenger for MSN now as well. Could this be why the rating has fallen from $25565 to around $17,000 in the last few days? Are there any trademark issues in using Microsoft in you app? Have you rsearched the legal issues?

    JoePro1 I talked with a microsoft representative and we are clear of trademark issues, because we don't use any microsoft trademark words and we state on the app that our application is not supported, sponsored or endorsed by Microsoft.

    We don't use any publicity to gain users other than request, mini feeds and notifications and not like microsoft doing ads everywhere, you know.

    And about the $17,000 value, don't worry it will rise more than that, maybe the drop was because I did change servers on may 17 and stay out of service for more than 24 hours.

    I just upload 2 more screenshots of the app insights, check them and notice that adonomics does not have too much accuracy tracking apps stats

    example: - they say we have 46,800 users when in reality we have 61,310 users

    - they say we have 468 DAU when in reality we have 700 DAU

    I hope this clear all your questions, anything else, please let me know.

    I guess my question is what kind of software/hardware do you need for this script.

    How do users know it exists? How difficult will it be to transfer to another server if need be. Does the new owner receive all contact details of past users etc.

    Cheers
    Danny
    PS if you would like i could call you to discuss this further.

    hello aero1

    how users know it exist:

    -when you install the app, it prints a minifeed on your profile, and maybe on news feed, so your friends will read the minifeeds or newsfeed.

    - when you submit your email, all your friends that have the app, will be nitified via nitification and via email, about your action. it will also print a mini feed on your profile.

    - the app is listed on facebook directory.

    - the app is installed on 60K profiles, so is 60K users doing advertisement for the app!

    thanks for asking.

    TO TRANSFER is very easy:

    just transfer the files (php) to your server, transfer the Mysql database, transfer the ownership of the app on facebook, edit the settings on facebook (telling where the app is hosted)

    and you are ready to go!

    thanks for asking

    Feliphe

    1. Do the users know thqat they are linking in for further email adversing, ie Opting IN
    2. Do i actully need a site for this as the app is uplloaded to server.
    3. Are you happy to sign a contract saying that customers are aware that they are opting for further advertising in and hence why it is free.

    Hello Danny

    1: currently I tell users that the email will be used to get app updated and to get listed so friends can download it. But can change the Disclaimer anytime.

    2: you need a server like you need a server to host a website, you need php and mysql to save uids and emails. if you don't have server, I can help you setting one and moving the files (you will have to pay like $90 a year, but you can use it for you own website), I can give you free hosting until you get the server (up to a month).

    3: what do you mean a contract? there is a very visible Disclaimer on the submit area, also when you launch the campaign, you have to make sure to add a unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Also you can email all 60K users via facebook API (that comes already with the unsubscribe link.

    4: yes you can do everything you want, you can add sections using canvas or iframe.

    5: I have this app since Dec 30 2007 and the traffic has been good always, with heavy drops

    I just added pictures to show the actual stats
