I really like the iUseThis<\/a> site for Mac software updates. For one thing, the UI is extremely clean and easy to navigate. None of the clutter of some of the more senior update sites. For another thing, the guys who run it are really cool Mac nerds who accept feedback graciously and are honestly striving to make the site “breakthrough” in ways that I don’t think the other sites will be able to keep up with.<\/p>\n

\niUseThis is an indie<\/em> site, so it’s no wonder indie software developers love it!\n<\/p>\n

\nI got in touch with the guys in charge at iUseThis with a funny proposition. You know those supermarket promotions where the millionth customer walks through the door and balloons and confetti fly everywhere? I sort of wanted to do that for one of my customers, only I’m not quite at the million mark yet. So I had to pick a less lofty benchmark!\n<\/p>\n

And The Winner Is…<\/h3>\n

\nNick Loose<\/a> is the 300th “user” of MarsEdit at iUseThis. Nick is a 15 year old German who was on the verge of buying MarsEdit when he clicked the “I Use This” button. His prize? A free copy of MarsEdit \u2014 and every other application I sell!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nOne of the unexpected joys of running your own business is you can perform random acts of fun. All the things you wish bigger companies would do more often, well you can just do them if you feel like it. I really like the idea of prizes, and this one is sort of arbitrary, but what the heck! 300 is a nice round number!\n<\/p>\n

\nIf you haven’t checked out iUseThis before, be sure to give it a look. An excellent way of testing it would be by visiting my product pages there and “using” them to show your love!\n<\/p>\n
