New Binary Game for the iPhone, competitive, fun & social by @Garyvee & @Yonnage

There’s a new additive app in the iTunes app store called Binary Game [itunes link] made by John Kassimatis @yonnage and Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee The app cost $1.99 and if you’re good at math and very competitive I recommend you give it a try. Here’s a video screencast of the game.

If you’re watching @garyvee’s twitter stream then I’m sure you know all about the app, take a look at one of the 1st tweets about the game tonight.

I’m starting to see a trend from new iPhone apps being released in the app store. With so many app being created and everyone trying to cash in on the popularity of the iPhone, developers now need to do more marketing for their app to get noticed. But with all the marketing your app still must be interactive, fun and must do more than just fart to make a few thousands dollars from the app store.

With the Binary Game, Gary and John has created an app that’s fun, competitive and social. The game has has it’s own website http://b1narygame.com/ with a Challenge mode & Speed Mode High Scores page where you can see all the top 50 high scores.

Another trend I’m seeing is that almost every new iPhone app has it’s on twitter profile:

The Binary Game twitter profile is @b1narygame With @Garyvee ‘s popularity I’m sure this app will be a success and the @b1narygame profile will have more than 2 followers it has right now.

I’m going to stop here and let you download the game and recommed you give it a try, as I’m going to try to increase my score and stay on the Binary Game top 50 list.

What’s your thoughts on the game? If you have an iPhone app how are you marketing it?

Talk Social News Episode 10:Evernote CEO, Phil Libin, what is a mophie iPhone juice pack and who's failing on twitter.

This week on Talk Social News, we interviewed Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, to talk about the past, present and future of Evernote. We also discussed the technology challenges of making a mobile application and Phill provides some advice for new startups. Even if you’re not an Evernote fan, I think you’ll enjoy what Phil has to say about what technology has impressed him, the mobile industry and where Evernote is going.

For our “What the Blog” section of the podcast, we review Mophie’s iPhone juice pack and why you may want to purchase one, even at half the price ($100.00) of the 8GB iPhone.

The “Fail of the week” is none other than Britney Spears on twitter, tweeting at @theRealBritney also know as Lauren from Britney’s PR team. We love Gary Vaynerchuk @Garyvee and he called her out on how she should use twitter. I wonder how long before we see a tweet saying “leave Britney alone” from Chris Crocker like the youtube video?

Some big news of the week is that both Qik and Brightkite are coming out with their iPhone applications. QIk has been available for jailbroken iPhone but per Kevin Rose it’s soon to be in the app store. Brighkite has teased the world yet again and posted a video of their upcoming iPhone app. Both have been a guest on Talk Social News, subscribe to the podcast via iTunes to list to past episodes.

Also we want to thank Sue Polinsky @SuePolinsky the organizer of ConvergeSouth conference in Greensboro, NC. We had a great time and looking forward to next year. See photos from the event via the flickr group here.
