Question: Why did you make Appify about asking and answering questions?

Answer: Because that’s how people discover apps in their everyday lives.

I don’t know all that much about apps, really, but what I *do* know I learned from asking people.  I ask: friends, people I meet at parties, people I look up to.  “What’s your favorite app?” “What’s a good app for getting around NYC?”  “What’s the WEIRDEST app you own??”  Whatever. 

It seemed like that was a great model for a site that was about discovering apps: just make it really easy for people to do what they’re ALREADY doing, on a massive scale, and expose the results to everyone.

So that’s what we built.
