Just realised I hit 1000 posts, here are some cool things I liked this year and last.

Hi all, 1000 posts now, wow. This time 18 months ago I was thinking how cool mobile apps are and how can I get a piece of that action without selling my wife and mortgaging my dog. Thanks to the BT guys for a platform I feel strong enough about to spend this much time on! Here are my top ten things I'm 'liking' this last year and the coming months in no particular order! 1. Buzztouch - Nothing out there like this, fast growing community of some darn fine people. Kudos to GoNorthWest, Raveyd, MGoBlue, Fred, Marko, Stefan and several others. Someone said David, Stephen and Parker are real people as well! 2. Parse implementation - 1000 subscribers on one channel in last 2 weeks, happy days! Now to spam the heck out of them. *joke* 3. GameCenter - Well worth following MGoBlue tutorial and getting that in folks, makes things look so cool and professional. 4. ShoutBox - Great stuff raveyd, simple and slick and a great way of sharing within the app. 5. Flickr - SO much control over the galleries that David et al put together for us, nice to see Yahoo keeping their finger in the pie as well. 6. GoNorthWest - Without your tutorials many would be lost, you have helped so many for so little to paraphrase a great man. Pleasure to have met you. 7. Jquery plugins - Some amazing sliders, menus etc out there that we can all add in, still trying to replicate the BBC app interface, when I do you'll hear me shouting in Sweden! 8. BUZZTOUCH Server - I have seen the future, this is so powerful and gives us so much control, worth it's weight in gold. Hmm, what does ninja coding weigh? 9. This is a strange one, wish I had the cash to play with it but there is a very cool SDK that can be added to BT from some gents called String, have a play around with their SDK, pretty neat stuff that could be added to your apps if you spend a few folding dollars (other currencies are available!) 10. Buzztouch, did I mention how lucky we all are, even more good things are-a-comin I see from some of Davids posts. Here is to BT and all the work these guys have put in to get us in the App Store and here's to the users! David, Stephen and Parker - Thanks so much for this thing of beauty, you have created something unique, as you know. Here's to the crazy ones guys, David is one of them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA

Keith, 1000 posts, wow! Seems like only yesterday that I started smiling at your wry comments, nodding my head in agreement to your insightful answers, and thanking our lucky stars for your continuing support. We really appreciate all that you are doing to move buzztouch into the future. And in regards to David being a crazy one guy, you are closer to the truth than you know... thanks again.

Happy days, seems like only yesterday that I called my good lady in and said 'check this out foxy' ( I call her that when I come home to an experimental dinner dish!) and had goose bumps and felt like I had stumbled on something cooler than I had ever seen. I was right. Thanks for that Stephen! You've sent me to bed with a wee smile! Will never forget the first time I saw a BT app of mine on a phone.

Congratulations, MacApple! And thanks for the props! As Stephen and others have said, I love your witty, wry comments! It's been awesome getting to know you via the forums and email, and can't wait until we can meet in person someday. Thanks for all you've taught me! Mark

Jackhos1 - Cheers! On phone in bed, will send you links tomorrow AM. Parse allow you to set up channels enabling segregation by subscribers, very useful it seems and they, in my opinion, are the easiest and slickest way to integrate Push in BT at the moment.

@MacApple, here's to you and to the support you gave me early on. You provided a link in one of my first posts Nov. 7th (2011) and 5 hrs 27 min. later, I succeeded. Your reply, 'Nice one, made me smile there buddy! Congrats for sticking with it!', and support among with the help from the others you mentioned (Plus a shout out to the many newer users) have kept me going. Thanks to you, and one and all.
