Apps, apps, apps!
Posted by Valerie Ponell in zanox Application Store , August 10th, 2009There have been added more than half a dozen new apps since the launch of the zanox Application Store and even more are in the pipeline! Time for us to pick some of our favourite novelties and update you on what’s new. The great thing is: The are all for free! If you want to learn more you can find detailed descritptions on our new apps on the Web Services blog.
To start with, dealunited has provided our advertisers and price comparison publishers with the first Software as a Service (SaaS) in the Store. The tool helps to monetise potentially lost traffic: if a customer cancels the shopping process, the dealunited software offers him to get the product for free if he buys something else on a different partner site. Get a more detailed overview on how this tool works here or get it right away in our Application Store.
Here is something fancy for fans of Google Android mobile phones: The Andora app allows you to scan the barcodes of products, check their price and availibility within our network and also to recommend it to your friends via Twitter.
The Shopotainment Publisher Widget is a service enabling interaction with the product database through social networks, widgets, RSS-feeds, or the shopotainment portal. The systems suggests interesting products for recommendation to friends by learning the users preferences.
We also have two new plug-ins for WordPress CMS users: One adds contextual product data links out of the 60 million zanox product database to each post; the other one enriches the blog search results with product hits from our database.
At last but not least, this is definitely one of our favourites: the BMI widget by the Sweden-based DreamBuilders team! The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical measurement which compares a person’s weight and height. The widget calculates the user’s BMI and – if needed – suggests fitness equipment 
Special thanks to Sebastian of our Web Services team to try it out – he was suggested a leg trainer, by the way
