It is a very good idea.. Getting all the industry and company information at one place.. wow… Another place where I happened to find a lot on company and industry related information: http://info.shine.com/Industry/1.aspx

This is a good idea. Although, I hope TechCruch doesn’t actually do it. We could incorporate some of these ideas into AppBeacon. Right now, we’re happy to let developers discuss their apps via our comments section. We could take this further and include more details from the developers and preface all comments with developer info.

This could be done extremely easily, and would be a good starting point. I don’t think it would take TechCrunch, or CrunchBase that much effort to get it going. Send them the domain and they can start.

The main problem I see with adopting a wiki approach here is that people stand to directly make money (through sales of their apps) through its content. We’ve already seen examples of developers trying to game iTunes to improve their visibility, and unfortunately an open solution like this leaves itself wide open for this kind of abuse.

What’s really needed is a closed – or at least tightly moderated – database run by a trusted 3rd party who will work with developers to deliver a fair ranking system, while at the same time ensuring that it remains completely impartial.

“Beat Apple to their own game. Show them that they’re not needed all the time.”
it looks like you don’t know apple , that like will kill your project! if apple sees anything will let their control less by 1% they will kill it!

but the idea it self is awesome! do it apple apps can cost 500-1000 max

I think within the first 24-48 hours it would have an incredible amount of data.

I’d use it. And it makes sense. I bet you it wouldn’t even cost him much money to get done.
