Hi from Alaska

I just now noticed this introduce yourself section - guess I should get on board! Hi everyone, my real name is Jonathan and I am completely addicted to this Buzztouch thing. Registering as a Buzztouch user exactly 1 year and 24 days ago was probably the smartest thing I've ever done I've been a part of a lot of message boards, and these ones are by far the best. Everybody here is totally cool, civil, and helpful - the combination of the incredible app-building platform and the amazing community is really what makes Buzztouch so great. By the end of this year I expect to pass the 1 million downloads milestone - all from Buzztouch apps! Seems like a great time to send out yet another thanks to David and the rest of the crew - thanks for allowing me to have a job that I actually enjoy. I remember with any other job I've had it would always be kind of depressing when my days off would end knowing that I had to go back to work the next day. Now, on the rare day that I am not glued to my computer, I'll find myself excited at the thought of getting up the next day and getting back to work PS - my avatar pic was taken at Waipio Valley on the Big Island of Hawaii

Hey my friend! Part of my goals is to have a resident back in South East Alaska and Maui. Migrating with the whales! You are such a great contributor on here and I am glad to see you are representing it so well! We defiantly need to do a Buzztouch Meetup Up in Alaska....preference is July/Aug.....but ANYTIME IS FINE FOR HAWAII ;) 1 million downloads is very exciting my friend. 1 million viewers looking at your stuff.....can you believe it? Keep up the great work and thanks again !

So, you live in Alaska and your avatar pic was taken in Hawaii. When you get to to California, come visit us in Monterey and we will show you around the buzztouch compound. Really glad to hear about your success and your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work.

Hey Jonathan! Great to get to know you better! A million downloads...that rocks! Alaska is one of only two states I haven't been to (the other being Maine) so I'll have to look you up when I get there someday. It would be great to meet you! Many thanks to all your awesome contributions to the forums. Mark

Hi from the UK! I've valued your forum posts. They're always insightful and inspiring. But none more so than reading... "Registering as a Buzztouch user exactly 1 month and 24 days ago"... "By the end of this year I expect to pass the 1 million downloads milestone - all from Buzztouch apps! " I thought WOW. Gobsmacked. This guy is QUICK. It took me a little while before I saw the note under your avatar and realised the mistake. :)

@Sheri - I would probably just skip the Alaska residence myself - give me a house in Hawaii and I'll be good to go :) A meetup seems tricky being so far away from the rest of the states, but it would definitely be cool. A million downloads is definitely nuts...I remember when I made my first app free and it got something like 200 downloads in a day. I thought that was so awesome to have created an app that 200 people actually wanted to use @Stephen - sounds like a plan - I haven't been to California since I was 4, I suppose it's about time to head back over there @GoNorthWest - hopefully I haven't left by the time you get here! I've actually though about moving to Arizona some day - I was there just last year hiking Humphreys Peak. I imagine the cold here is much more tolerable than the heat there though @krumike - thanks a lot - haha oops, yeah that would be an impressive accomplishment (fixed)

My brother actually lives in Hilo, Hawaii! Awesome place to be, but I'm not sure I'd like to live there. Alaska is far more attractive to me because of the cold and all the mountains and stuff. As a amateur photographer, I would love to spend some time there. If you ever want to trade places and come to AZ, let me know! Can you post a link to your million download app? Mark

@GoNorthWest - Yeah I've talked to people from AZ up here and they pretty much all say cold > heat. There is no specific app that has gotten all the downloads - it's a combination of quite a few - these are my four biggest hits Fan Club - One Direction Edition - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fan-club-one-direction-edition/id517597110?ls=1&mt=8 Fan Club Pro - One Direction Edition - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fan-club-pro-one-direction/id525294564?ls=1&mt=8 Lost Pages - Slender Man Edition - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lost-pages-slender-man-edition/id568151454?ls=1&mt=8 Cheats For 100 Floors - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cheats-for-100-floors/id525616079?ls=1&mt=8 All pretty basic apps, it's mainly just the subject matter that brings in the downloads for me @ATRAIN - Thanks man!
