androidsIn an effort to extend our market reach, RatCat Software is please to announce that we have joined the Android Developer Market and begun the process of porting our MyFirefighter application over to the Googles Android OS.

The MyFirefighter app has been a huge Apple Iphone success and listed in the top 50 in France and Germany, the top 100 in Austria and Canada and the top 200 in the United Kingdom and the United States since its launch.

The Android Market offers quick, easy access to a wide variety of applications developed specifically for the Android platform. These have been created by developers all around the world, and are rated Android users.

It will be interesting to see how well myFirefigher performs on Android. We plan to study the results for a period of time before moving on with any other development work on the platform.

Updated our subscription options

Picture 4This morning I added Feedburner to our blog. This service from Google allows us to provide RSS and Email subscriptions of our updates.  This way, if my sister wants to read the blog via her Google reader, she’s covered, and if my Mom wants to see whats up, she can subscribe to the email notifications  and be notified when a new blog entry has been posted. Wordpress by default offers RSS feeds however Feedburner takes it to a whole new level. If you want to read more information about Feedburner it is available here on Feedburners site. Like the Google Analytics installed yesterday, Feedburner was very easy to setup and add to the site. You start by creating an account (which authenticates with a gmail account), adding your current feed url and shazam Feedburner creates a new url for you to begin using on your site immediately.

To make the feeds easy to sign up for I  also added a Wordpress plug-in called “Subscription Options” from a site called Digital Cortex.
This plug-in creates three buttons that link to each of the available feed options, RSS, Email and Twitter.
