Follow Apple App Store On Twitter Now !!

After brings Apple iTunesMusic on Twitter, now Apple has launched Apple App Store on Twitter with the twitter name @AppStore, new Twitter account for its popular iOS and Mac App Store. The new @AppStore Twitter account only made its debut a few hours ago, but it has already amassed more than 35,000 Twitter followers as of this writing. For comparison, its sister account, @iTunesMusic, has more than 680,000 followers.

As the accounts first tweet explains, @AppStore will feature new apps in Apple’s iOS and Mac App Stores and provide exclusive offers for Twitter users. For example, the account’s second tweet provided a quick pitch and a link to Nike’s Training Club App.

Creating a Twitter account for the App Store seems like a simple and effective way to generate more buzz and more downloads about featured apps. It’s essentially the same thing Apple has been doing with its App Store Facebook Page, which has nearly 1 million fans. Apple also has five popular iTunes Twitter accounts tweeting about new films, music and TV shows.

Still, Apple is known for its lack of engagement in social media. The company doesn’t have official Facebook or Twitter accounts. While the @AppStore account is a refreshing addition to Apple’s social media roster, don’t expect Steve Jobs, Tim Cook or Apple, Inc. to be tweeting anytime soon.

Apple Announced Mac App Store Launch

 

Apple has just announced that they are going to launch its Mac App Store doors on Thursday, January 6, 2011. The Mac App Store was unveiled as one of the new features of Mac OS X Lion, which will be available to users later in 2011.

The idea behind the Mac App Store is to bring the same experience of finding, installing and updating apps on iOS devices to Mac OS X. For consumers, the Mac App Store promises a way to streamline the installation and app discovery process, as well as keep apps synced across various machines.

Furthermore, unlike the iOS App Store, the Mac App Store won’t preclude developers from offering upgrades or variable pricing via their own storefronts.
