OneForty, The (unofficial, but very awesome) Twitter App Store is Here

Unofficial app stores have been a venture all their own. A crowded space, but whitehot if you can command the attention and respect of the community.

@Pistachio is someone the Twitter community has been quietly routing for, for a while now. It is widely known that she introduced the uber-influential Guy Kawasaki to twitter, among her many other accolades.

Laura Fitton is one of the few that could really get a project like this off the ground, and it looks like she’s timed it perfectly. She got the virtual full Ginsburg from the top media blogs at TC140, which was very well executed.

Our quick and dirty review of the site is 4 out of 5 stars. We love the signup process, naturally built on Twitter’s Oauth ID system, which makes the initial experience very smooth. The oneforty inc., will bring a Yelp-like experience and organization to a very fragmented space. It appears, from early reaction, to be the solution the community has been looking for.

These things has a tendency to get huge spikes initially, especially with the kind of free press oneforty got this week, but also have a habit of fizzling out 90 days later. Lets hope oneforty.com can turn this early momentum into sustainable traffic and more importantly, revenues that exceed their expenses.
