Mobspot for Facebook helps you find great iPhone apps through friends

I have a good feeling that a lot of you out there in San Francisco have an iPhone. I also imagine that most of you search out and download applications for your iPhone. And how about one more guess out of left field?

A very good majority of you have a Facebook account.

If you are ‘cut to the chase Adam’ under your breath right now, well then I’ve obviously pinned you quite well.

Today, a nifty little Facebook application launched called Mobspot that will make finding good iPhone apps a whole lot easier. For the most part, most people I know just head to the iTunes App Store, look at how many stars an application has, read a few of the almost unintelligible reviews and deduct some money from their iTunes account.

It leaves me wishing they made smarter choices with their money. Frankly, it’s a little embarrassing when someone has applications that weren’t free and were rarely used sitting on their home screen. It’s time that you stopped putting your trust in random people who have fifty x’s and numbers in their name.

Mobspot will help you break your bad habits.

It runs through Facebook (so no signing up for anything, just a quick install), it allows you to rate iPhone applications quickly and efficiently and it lets you see how your friends (whose opinions you value, right) rated applications you are interested in or maybe never heard about.

The app also scans your iTunes library ensuring that there won’t be an influx of bogus reviews. Translation: you need to have the application to review it.

I’ve played around with it and I think the functionality is great, the idea is great and now they just need people to start using it.

And with the amount of people with Facebook and an iPhone in San Francisco, I should hope that should be sooner rather than later.

Mobspot.
