Sales Are At A Trickle On Google?s Chrome Web Store
In December, after months of anticipation and discussions with third-party developers, Google finally unveiled the Chrome Web Store ? an online portal that lets users purchase and 'install' web applications like TweetDeck, MOG, and hundreds of others. It's one of the first platforms that helps developers monetize web applications using a unified payment system (in this case, Google Checkout), and it's going to be deeply integrated into Google's Chrome browser. Unfortunately, as far as we can tell, nobody is really buying anything on it. The UI for the Chrome Web Store looks very similar to iTunes, and, just like iTunes, one of the most prominent sections is a list of 'Top Paid' applications. Sitting at the top of the list is Toddler Jukebox, a colorful little app selling for $1.99 that lets you play twelve children's songs, like 'Wheels on the Bus'. And, according to the Web Store stats, it's been installed six times this week. Ouch.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/seldXF-pO3s/
