James Thomson

@jamesthomson ugh, I refuse to participate.

@tapbot_paul I figured I might as well see how it works for now.

@jamesthomson I get it but would feel like I’m being complicit in something I really opposed as both a user & dev.

@tapbot_paul I agree, but regardless of what we do, it's going to happen. Better to find out what the experience is, then decide.

@jamesthomson I hold out a little hope that if enough people complain they might get rid of them.

@jamesthomson where can you set the campaigns up?

@xmr You can't - it's all done by the App Store folk right now

@jamesthomson so is it costing you? Or just demo mode?

@jamesthomson That’s a good thing right?

@papplegate Well, it's interesting to see - don't know if paid search is a good idea though

@jamesthomson It looked “simple” if an ad can be that. I’m not sure on the whole paid search, I’m just happy they are almost non-intrusive

@jamesthomson are you enrolled in the beta program?

@m_kristensson Yes, wanted to try it for now at least.

@jamesthomson Is there a place on line to sign up or did you get signed up through the labs here at #WWDC?

@m_kristensson There was an online signup on the developer site, I don't remember the link I'm afraid

@jamesthomson interesting that they show it for already-installed apps. An artifact of the beta (or dev builds?), or a feature!

@ZevEisenberg Good point, not sure.
