Tapulous.com - Social Apps for the iPhone

Tapulous is a company aiming to the be the leading developers of iPhone applications now that the Apple’s app store is open for business. Currently they have three different applications available with the goal of adding new programs on almost a weekly basis.

One of their available apps that has been incredibly popular is Tap Tap Revenge, a game similar to Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero, where your rhythm skills are challenged while you tap your way through various musical beats. You can also challenge your friends for the most accurate rhythmical tapping claim. This app was available in rookie form for hacked iPhones and already had a huge following, so it’s clearly already a favorite with the iPhone crowd. Another application they offer is Twinkle, serves as your Twitter client, bringing you all of the typical features you’ve come to expect, plus geo-location information that allows you to scope out and tweet people nearby. The last of their apps currently available is an address book of sorts that is hoping to become the go-to application for all contact information needs. If you put two iPhones with the app together in a “handshake”, the application allows you to exchange information in a new and crazy way. Eventually Tapulous is planning on creating a social network for all of the users of their applications, so it will be interesting to see what other tricks they’ve got up their sleeves as the iPhone continues to grow and develop.
