An app is an awkward party, where nobody knows each other. But with really good food. Bear with us here. The food is a great distraction to keep people from breaking out of their comfort zone (Hmmm. Small talk OR nervously eat these chocolate-covered pretzels?). But because of this, Lauren never talks to Joe and
The IBEX Droid app is a fantastic 4.5 star app on Android for Spain’s stock exchange (IBEX is to Spain what NYSE is to the USA). The app is running Socialize, which means that users can socialize and comment around individual stocks from within the app, and can give each stock a “thumbs up” or
Sure, staying active is good for you and keeps you healthy and all that good stuff that we like to think is motivation enough in itself. But when it comes to busting your bum at the gym 3 times a week or going for that jog at 6:30 in the morning, sometimes the vague lure
Thanks to Jeffrey Fitzgerald for a great interview with Isaac Mosquera, Socialize’s CTO, about short-cycle SCRUM agile development, knowing how to evaluate certain technologies for a business, and what the future of mobile and social might hold, at the MoDevEast conference last week.

Drum Kit has implemented the recently released Socialize Action Bar app-wide. Most apps to date have implemented Socialize for specific pieces of content (articles, coupons, recipes, pictures, news, etc.) so users can share that content with each other and across social networks (what we call “entities” in geek terms). However, Drum Kit put Socialize on
Is one of your users abusing the comment system? Now you can ban users, keeping that user from commenting in your app. Just click on any user’s ID in your Socialize Dashboard, and then click “Ban User” Banning a user doesn’t remove his or her previous comments from the app, it just keeps the user
Socialize is excited to announce the release of our full-fledged Action Bar! Why are we so excited? Because we’re well on our way to a new era in app engagement.

It was only 2 weeks ago that Socialize held its last hackathon—but we were itching to get in the game again! Our last project, Interests Graphed, was completed in less than 9 hours. What else could we churn out in a days’ work? Kicking off on Friday at 9:45 am, the team decided on an
When we say you can implement Socialize in as little as 30 (or more specifically, 23) seconds, we’re not just blowing SDK smoke up your bum. Check out how our head dev, Jason Polites, demonstrates just how easy it is to drop the Socialize ActionBar into an app using National Public Radio’s Android app as
by Christine Borden, special to Socialize, Inc. On Monday, 500 entrepreneurs and startup diehards gathered at Hotel Kabuki not to talk failure. This wasn’t your usual self-congratulatory conference of experts–this was FailCon. FailCon is a daylong conference that doesn’t necessarily celebrate failure…but it believes that learning what not to do can be much more relatable.
Last Friday was less TGIF and more CFSWCMHH (code-faster-so-we-can-make-happy-hour) as Socialize held its first ever company hackathon! Our team was busy hacking away from 8:30am until our impromptu project, dubbed “Interests Graphed”, went live at 5:09pm. Interests Graphed is an interactive map that allows developers to cross-section Socialized app user ID’s to reveal similar interests.
Have you heard about the flooding around Bangkok? Champ, our QA champ, hails from Bangkok and recently created a web app called WaterReport to monitor water levels around the city.

Next Friday, the entire Socialize crew (yes, even your resident blog bard) will hack from 8 a.m. to roughly 8 p.m. Cue the pizza, Red Bulls, sodas, more pizza and eventually beer! We’ll take the whole day to work on a new idea from start to finish. After all, it’s our very first manifesto point:

To better merge app and web activity, Socialize has considered building a web widget that would display app activity and allow web users to interact with mobile users.

We recently implemented a Scrum process for our user acquisition team at Socialize. Scrum is project management style often used in engineering teams, but many other teams have successfully adapted it to their non-dev cycles as well. Scrum focuses on value (as in, does this task add value to the company/end user?) and forgoes emphasis

You can even unlock hidden “Buddies”

No UDID? No problem. Socialize allows you to track your app’s activity without relying on your users’ UDIDs.

Previously, UDIDs allowed developers to track specific users/devices that

Nielsen’s Smartphone Analytics recently published some stats on Android app usage—and it’s not a pretty picture for indie developers.

A company named Socialize with a feature called “Likes” makes you think of what blue-wrapped Silicon Valley behemoth? And the sad fact is that in many people’s minds “social” is equivalent to “Facebook.” Your app isn’t “social” unless you have Facebook integration, right? But that’s not really where “social” ends. Social is about more than
